Cinematcher is a matchmaking service for film, T.V. and digital media production jobs and events. Cinematcher's algorithm and swiping, coupled with our Geo locator enables users to connect and message instantly, all over the world. Create a profile, and begin swiping on freelance crew members looking for work and awesome projects in need of crews - even ones that could be shooting right now! Cinematcher is free to download, allowing users to create a profile and browse matches. Cinematcher allows users to hire and get hired simultaneously under one digital profile, instant matching with our quick connect feature, hire or become an extra, connect and message matches with push notifications, and info on industry related events with a 'check in' option enabling users to connect and message other attendees. Cinematcher takes exactly what members are looking for based on their completed personal profile and matches them to jobs and projects that are the best fit, to eliminate the searching and sifting through irrelevant job posts that have little to no return. "Something the industry has been missing for the longest time is a utility that can connect filmmakers together in the easiest way possible. No more cold calling or lousy Craigslist ads where neither can provide adequate information before you connect with someone. In our field, networking is the key to launching the best projects you can create, and Cinematcher is the missing piece to that puzzle.” - Mike Lowther, Editor NBCUniversal Cinematcher enables productions to hire in an instant, all over the world!

However I can’t enter my location info, and was struggling to put in previous job experience that represents me well - given the limited choices. Will wait around to see if an update will help ### 2/5 — Login is impossible *2018-02-15* First off, great idea and overall good app. But there’s not much of a community on it yet. MAJOR BUG- After opening the app for the first time in a while, I enter my email and password but the keyboard won’t disappear and I can’t scroll down so I can’t hit “Login” button. Hitting Return from the password line does nothing. 😕 ### 1/5 — Waste *2017-10-19* Signed up for the $12.99 subscription. Never got a single candidate and the app was buggy and told me that I didn’t have the pro. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our app. We are constantly updating and growing, and would love all feedback of any bugs you have encountered through our site or the 'send feedback' button within the app so we can ensure the best user experience. Honest feedback is super important to us, and not only welcomed but encouraged. We are constantly updating and growing our app, which may unfortunately cause bug fixes along the way. As we work hard in growing our user base in all locations and job titles, please feel free to reach out directly over e-mail https://www.cinematcher.com/#contact and we will personally connect you with users and matches that will be a good fit. Our goal is to enable anyone, with any background, in any location the chance to swipe, connect, collaborate and create. Thank you so much for your feedback, our ability to grow our app is possible due to interactive users such as yourself. ### 3/5 — Where Do You Buy Pro Version? *2017-09-16* Cinematcher is a cool idea but there isn't a community at all right now . And the free version is very limited. I want to try the pro version for 30 days but I don't see where I can upgrade. This app can be revolutionary for the film industry in due time if the developers market it well. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. As we work extremely hard to expand our user base, we would be happy to connect you to matches you may be a good fit for. Please feel free to reach out https://www.cinematcher.com/#contact with information of who or what type of position you would like to be matched with, and we will personally connect you with our community. You may upgrade your subscription to CinematcherPro by clicking 'CinematcherPro' at the bottom of your 'Hire' dashboard. You will then click 'Manage Subscription' and can choose to upgrade to month or annual through your iTunes account. Please feel free to reach out at any time with other questions, concerns, and most importantly feedback. Thank you for being an early supporter! ### 5/5 — 5 Stars *2017-08-12* I'm so happy I've found this app! It can be impossible to find work in rural New England (where I'm from), but now I don't have to worry about that, and it's easy to get acting jobs with this. 5 Stars! ### 5/5 — It's so convenient *2017-05-30* The life of a freelancer is a constant search for the next paycheck. Cinematcher has taken the way people connect with each other, and created a platform specifically for our industry. The app allows you to search for jobs, network with other professionals, and get discovered by people looking to hire. It's what we have all been waiting for! ### 5/5 — Finally!! We've needed this kind of app for a long time! *2017-04-27* Awesome! ### 5/5 — So necessary! *2017-04-25* This is such a great idea, this industry needs a better way for creatives to connect and the app is such a streamlined and efficient way for people to hire and get hired! ### 5/5 — Executive Producer *2017-04-22* Smart, convenient & easy to use! Every line producer & production manager in the Film & TV biz should download this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-04-21* Great app for all production needs! ## Frequently asked questions about Cinematcher ### What is Cinematcher?
