Give your students an industry foothold
before they graduate.
FILMD gives institutions a dedicated space inside the wider filmmaking ecosystem - to manage cohorts and productions, while driving student employability through showcases and connections beyond the course.

INDUSTRY TESTED
Developed with BIFA Springboard
The British Independent Film Awards’ Springboard programme used FILMD in our beta round to help programme leads administer the initiative and give second-time directors a dedicated space to collaborate, manage productions and progress their work.
A practical model for connecting cohorts, productions, showcases and graduate continuity.
The industry
Fragmented by default.
Productions, jobs, crews, portfolios, messages, showreels and opportunities live in different places - spreadsheets, email chains, closed groups, half-built websites. Filmmakers spend years stitching it together themselves.
The university
Same problem, smaller scale.
Student productions on WhatsApp. Submissions on Vimeo. Cohort updates buried in the LMS. Showcases on private links. Graduate outcomes through annual surveys. Institutions do the hard work of developing talent - then the system lets it drift.
INSIDE FILMD
A dedicated home, connected to the industry.
Each university gets its own environment inside FILMD - to manage student productions, host cohorts, showcase work and stay connected to graduates.

INSIDE THE ECOSYSTEM
Students sit inside the wider FILMD network.
Profiles, credits, showreels and messages aren't locked to the institution. Students appear on the same map as working cast, crew & creatives - building industry roots before they graduate, and keeping them after.
The university backs the student. The student keeps the foothold.
INDUSTRY DISCIPLINE
Professionalise student productions.
Call sheets, crew lists, schedules, comms and compliance - all in one place. Students graduate fluent in the industry-standard workflow, moving from the classroom to a professional set without a learning curve.
After graduation
Stay close to your alumni.
See where graduates go, what they’re working on and how their careers progress - through real outcomes, not annual surveys. Keep alumni visible, and keep the institution connected to the impact it helped create.
The bigger picture
Democratising access to film across the UK.
FILMD exists to drive student employability by building stronger routes into the industry - across every region and nation of the UK. By partnering with universities and film schools, we help emerging filmmakers find a foothold before they have to rely on who they already know.
BUILDING TOGETHER
Let’s talk about FILMD for universities.
FILMD is speaking with course leaders, convenors and film schools who want a better way to support students from production to progression. Pilot pricing discussed per institution.
