Finding MFJF

A few years ago, when I was still at school, I attended a webinar on Zoom. I believe it was through NFFTY, but I’m not certain. After the session, I was given a link to sign up for a free trial of MFJF. It was only recently that I came across that email again, after it was sitting in my inbox for all that time and took advantage of the offer. I’m glad I did.

I don’t suppose I’m much different from most others in this community; I’m out of college and searching for a creative job. I’m thankful for you guys, for connecting me with so many job openings I can apply to. The other thing you guys have given me is a constant reminder that I’m not alone, and that others who are in the same situation as me are my comrades, not my competitors.

I recently attended the 'How To Grow As Writers Room Support Staff' webinar by My First Job In Films, and it was incredibly insightful! The speakers shared practical advice on breaking into the industry and progressing in a writers' room. The tips on networking, career growth, and refining my skills were invaluable. I left feeling more confident and inspired to take the next steps in my career!

Wonderful resource for those entering the film industry

This is a wonderful resource for what can be a very confusing industry for newcomers. The free resources on the site are amazing for getting to know the ins and outs of film, including the seminars, guidebooks etc. I also very much appreciated the resume 1:1 session I booked! Very productive and encouraging.

"I wish I had had this when I was starting out. I was on my own and a community like this is what I needed and wanted. Not only a place to voice frustrations and concerns, but a place that provides encouragement and hope for those of us with this crazy passion to work in film.
