Show Us Your WorkspaceNo two days in this industry look the same, and neither do our desks. Mine has been a folding table in a production office buried under call sheets and revised pages. It's also been the back of a van, a hotel lobby at 5am, and a corner of base camp where the coffee was still warm and the sun hadn't come up yet. That's the thing about this business. Wherever you land that day, that's the office. This week, we want to see yours. Snap a photo of wherever you're working right now. On set, behind the camera, in the edit bay, backstage, in the art department, at a sound station, on a studio lot — or at your kitchen table, if that's where the work is happening. No staging, no filters. We want the real thing. Send us:
Two favorites get featured in next week's Friday MFJF Daily Email and across our social channels. Both winners get a free month of MFJF Pro! It doesn't matter if you're on a studio feature, shooting a short with friends, interning in a production office, or cutting a passion project at midnight. Everyone working in this industry started somewhere, and most of those somewheres weren't glamorous. Show us where you are right now. We'll be watching for them. Disclaimer: One thing before you hit send: if you're under an NDA — and on most shows you are — protect it. No script pages, no monitors, no unreleased sets or talent in the frame. Flip the call sheet face-down. Your workspace is still the shot. If you're not sure, ask your production office. Got questions about these opportunities, or just want to talk through where you're headed? We'd love to hear from you — that's literally why we're here.

Recommended Job of the DayCostume Production Internship is the one we'd point you at first. A world-leading live entertainment producer wants an intern alongside its workroom teams, costumers, buyers and designers, making and maintaining costumes. Expect draping, drafting, pattern cutting, millinery and alterations, plus CAD/CAM work, technical sketches and a hand in production management, with fittings and meetings thrown in. It's a fixed-term paid stint in California. If you've made garments, photograph them properly and put that portfolio front and centre. Apply today: hiring teams at this level open applications as they come in and start shortlisting early, so the ones read first are the ones considered.

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.
