about

Screenplayer first started out as a blog in 2006 (which I shut down on impulse and later, regretted) and then, as a social network of filmmakers (at one point, we started feeling tired of describing the site as 'think of it as Friendster for filmmakers') and now, we think we've hit the nail right on the head with Screenplayer v3.

A problem most production houses face is locating freelance talents, be it directors, writers, editors or actors for a project. They just go to the same old handful of people they'd worked with before. What about the new talent out there waiting to be discovered! The fresh graduate with a couple of awards under his belt, the old-timer who's had enough of editing corporate videos and aching for something new on the side, what about them!? (yes, we're that passionate)

So we thought an online repository of freelance local talent would be a great starting point for something truly great. As with most things with us, this is also an experiment We don't know if it'll work but judging by the number of signups on the previous incarnation of Screenplayer, we think we're on to something truly cool.

We never get tired of saying this, but Screenplayer is free and will always be free. The ads you see on your right are put there by Ning, the wonderful platform Screenplayer's hosted upon. We might or might not add a couple of ads in the future but membership will always remain free.

Screenplayer v.3 depends on trust. You invite people whom you trust and we trust you'll be responsible. Go forth and play.
