We Want to Hear From Our Members!Hi Guys, Most days, we're the ones handing out industry tidbits and job leads. Today we're flipping the script — we want to hear how it's actually going for you. Why we're asking We usually only find out a member landed something when a Producer, AD, or Coordinator we know personally happens to mention it. Which means the good stuff — how you got in the door, what finally worked — never makes it back to the MFJF community. And the people who need to hear it most are the ones still sending applications into the void. Give us the good stuff Any luck with applications or leads lately? Any interviews? Even the ones that went sideways? How many emails, calls, and hours of research did it take before something clicked? Film school or no film school? Luck or grind? Nothing needs to be polished. A couple of lines is plenty. If you'd rather we keep your name out of it when we share it, just say so and we we will. Do this today Hit reply and tell us where you're at. We'll pass along what comes back, so the next person has an easier time of it than you did. Your stories are what make this community worth being part of, so thank you, genuinely, for being here and for being willing to share. Reach out anytime — with questions, career goals, or just to say hi. We're rooting for you, always. All the Best, Liv Today's New Jobs160 roles are sitting on the US board this morning with 21 added since yesterday, and nobody's had a proper look at those new ones yet. Recommended Job of the DayFestival Office PA is our pick today. It's with one of the world's leading independent film festivals, based in Colorado, keeping the office running for the video content team: runs, paperwork, invoices, travel and lodging bookings, vehicle prep and helping put together the daily schedules for festival coverage. You'd also be steering volunteers out in the field. Full-time, hybrid, October through February. It suits anyone organised who wants to see how a festival is actually assembled from the inside. In your application, be specific about the admin and logistics you've already handled. Get it in today, because at this level applications are read as they arrive and the shortlist forms early.
If you have questions about these opportunities or would like to discuss your career goals, please feel free to reach out at any time. We’re here to support you! All the Best,

Upcoming Virtual Workshops Thu 24 Sep, 7:00pm EDTDon’t F*ck Up The Coffee: Getting the Gig, Keeping the Gig Free for members
TV director Andi Armaganian (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Supergirl, Stargirl), who cut 100+ episodes before directing 30+ episodes, explains how entry-level crew actually get hired and, harder still, asked back. She covers the differences between PA roles, how referrals really happen, the on-set habits that quietly end careers, working around a director without overstepping, and turning one job into the next. For anyone chasing their first PA job — no experience needed — you'll leave knowing what "reliable" means to the people doing the hiring. Free for all Members.
