For Cast, Crew & Creatives
Your career.
Your Platform.
No gatekeepers.
FILMD was built for filmmakers tired of the chaos - closed networks, scattered tools, and an industry that makes it hard to be seen. We're changing that.
Craig Heyworth
Founder & CEO, FILMD
I trained at drama school. I've been on sets as an actor, a writer, and a producer. And the one thing I kept running into was this: the industry doesn't have a home.
Your career lives in spreadsheets, Facebook groups, WhatsApp threads, and word of mouth. If you're not in the right circle - or the right city - you're invisible. That's not good enough.
So I built FILMD. One platform where every actor, creative, and crew member can build a real professional profile, get discovered, find work, and soon get paid directly - regardless of where they're from or who they know.
We now have over 21,000+ members across the UK. Entrepreneur UK named us a UK100 Startup to Watch. But the thing I'm most proud of? The messages from filmmakers who found their first job, their first collaborator, or their first break - through FILMD.
This platform is for you.
A profile that works for you
Your FILMD profile is your professional identity - showreels, credits, headshots, accreditations, and reputation - all in one place. Productions search for you. Collaborators find you. Your work speaks for itself.
No more chasing links across Spotlight, IMDb, Instagram, and Google Drive. One link. One profile. Everything you need.
