## What is Portrait Creative Network?

Portrait connects a vetted community of filmmakers, department heads, funders, distributors, and more. We help creatives showcase work to the people who matter - at the right time, in the right place, without chaos of the inbox or mass social media.
- Informing our thinking: LinkedIn was built for resumes. IMDb was built as a database. We think there's a better way.
- Every Portrait member receives a portfolio, making it easy to share contact info and creative work with peers.
- Portrait is invite-only but free to join. We welcome filmmakers and industry professionals who've had a project at a major festival, on a major media platform, or in theaters.
- Industry Pocket Guides: Browse industry attendees, see portfolios of people behind the films, send messages, set meetings, and add senior contacts. See who you know on Portrait via easy phone contact sync.
- Industry Partners: We've worked with The Film Collaborative, The Gotham, Brown Girls Doc Mafia, The DPA, The DCA, Dear Producer, Film Fatales and others.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2025-06-16*

I was excited about this app but there aren’t many opportunities and no one is very active

### 1/5 — Can’t get an account?

*2024-05-08*

Useless app without an account. Apparently you can’t get one, even when invited to be a part of the app. Go figure it out.

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear you are having trouble accessing the app. Here are the basic troubleshooting steps we recommend:
1. If you have not yet received an invitation or applied, please apply here - https://www.onportrait.com/apply
2. If you've been invited, please search your email for a message from Portrait Onboarding and follow the steps to login. If you can't find the email, after downloading the app, click on "Resend Activation Link."
3. If you are still having trouble logging in, please contact us at support@onportrait.com.

### 5/5 — Great Ux

*2023-08-15*

Loving the app so far. Fast clean design.

### 5/5 — Seamless, essential and fun networking app for filmmakers

*2023-07-18*

When portrait started as a web based community for filmmakers it was already great, now the app takes it a whole new level of ease and fun. The transition was seamless. Can’t believe Portrait is still only a year or two old(!?), here’s to the next 20 years. Thank you to Portrait Team!

### 5/5 — Have been waiting for this!!

*2023-06-25*

This is an HUGE upgrade for creatives versus LinkedIn. Big fan!!
