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.
