Elevator Pitch: App database for mobile devices linked to talent database


Technology Pitch

Product: Mobile device app linked to talent database

A useful tool for producers would be a mobile device application that allows the user to access a list of
Freelance talent in film technology jobs. This device would also include current union and non union rates for individual jobs. These jobs would include a large variety of specialized talent including camera men, electricians, digital artists, supervisors, production managers, etc.

Producers and studio executives would pay a fee to have access to this service but talent would be able to post profile information, agent contact info and talent reels for free.

The purpose would be to allow producers easy access to talent and provide them information to assess the abilities of the individual in the planning stages.

This application would linked to my previous proposal of a larger on-line database that would that would house thousands of photos and imagery from films as a historical archive.

My purpose for creating these sites is twofold. First and foremost is the historical/archival imperative. It is necessary to preserve these images in a digital archive particularly images that originated on film and may be in danger of deteriorating. Also, an oral history of how these films were made could also be preserved.

The mobile application is useful as a production tool and may help talent find work and it may function as a talent pool and a social interaction site as well.
