Taken over by worthless Film and TV site.

Anyone know of any other sites to find film crew, jobs, etc. without having to pay and go through major sign-up headaches?

Hi Laura,
Our subscription structure is measured against the twin values of flexibility and affordability. We strive to give our members the lowest price without compromising the quality of the service that we offer.
We offer a tailored professional service for those in the arts and creative industries. Yes, we do post jobs, but this is just a small part of a platform that also provides networking opportunities, resume and portfolio hosting, web design, professional listings, events, guidance, and much much more.
As for Film and TV Pro... we merged with this platform a couple of years ago, and have recently relaunched the new Mandy.com on the expertise and experience of our combined team. We're motivated by what puts our members in the strongest position, professionally, and we're confident that our new platform does just that.
With best wishes,
Amelia

Mandy.com is really helpful for VO artists, It's easy to use, and it's great to those who don't have listings of agents, I am looking forward to a long association.

Pretty good for centralized postings
November 2, 2022

Great place to find centralized postings for work in the arts (film, TV, web series, shorts, other small projects). Unfortunately a lot of the postings require you to have a premium account to apply.

Mandy is a great way to take your career in entertainment to another level. Then, when you add in the fact that there is money to make, it makes the site even more attractive.

Amazing
July 15, 2020

Mandy has been great for family briefs especially during Covid.
Casting directors are preferring to booking families at the minute.

It's so easy to use and I get regular emails when jobs suit me.

So Far, promising.
July 5, 2019

As a pro voiceover actor with agent representation I usually shy away from online job platforms, but somehow, having had a basic profile on Mandy I have been approached by for a couple of potential situations which have awakened my curiosity. A lot of the jobs on offer are so lowly paid that no serious, self-respecting VO actor would touch them, but THERE ARE SOME at market rates, so I have decided to pay to upgrade my membership, in order to explore those more serious opportunities. I will try it for a bit and then decide and update this review with the results. Meanwhile, I feel Mandy is worth looking into, and the site seems uncluttered and easy to use, which is a great start.

I started using Mandy at the beginning of 2019, recommended by a few actors I know. I use it alongside StarNow and Backstage, but to be honest I get more of what I want (speaking roles) from StarNow, which also happens to be the cheapest one to subscribe to (£29 for six months).

Mandy is grossly overpriced at £170 a year, particularly since you can only apply for paid work in your chosen category, e.g. actor, supporting artist, photographer, director, etc. StarNow and Backstage don't prevent you from applying for or putting out a casting call in various different roles, which is how it should be because most of us aren't "just an actor" or "just a producer".

I've paid for a year's subscription, but I'll see how it is at the end of the year in terms of the site's usefulness. But as it is, having kept statistics on the three websites I use, StarNow comes top, followed by Backstage (which currently offers UK people free membership for six months), and lastly Mandy.

Mandy really has to lower its price to something more reasonable, especially since actors are usually earning peanuts to sustain their passion. In fact, why don't they allow actors free or very cheap access, and then just carry on charging the casting directors the full whack?

Hello Jason, thank you for your honest feedback. You are able to create different profiles across our site. Our users have fedback to us that keeping the different disciplines separate has been very helpful in their search for work. However, I will, of course, pass this feedback on. We offer a range of discount throughout the year and for members of a number of professional bodies and unions, our annual membership alongside other seasonal offers. For example, is £156 inc VAT for our Actors site which works out as an £88.80 savings over the course of a year. If you want more information please do contact us at emails@mandy.com

Not worth it.
March 20, 2021

Didn't really find it worth it to pay for premium. No real jobs came from paying premium. Or I would get Job offers from places way outside of my selected locations. Like I get it, you guys want to make it seem like your website job offers are popping, but they're not. Sometimes, moronically, you see a job offer here that says you still have to apply through another site, that is just like this one. No real guarantees. And it is a little irritating that even now that I am no longer paying for premium, I'm getting emails about jobs that sound great, but only applicable if I upgrade to premium again. With no real guarantee. Just send me jobs that I can apply for without you robbing me please. I've heard from others as well that there are other & better platforms available. Thankfully the few jobs I was able to land, were through the classic platform of word of mouth. Not paying for a service that has no real guarantees and instead seem to be more like a "guarantease". If I am not paying for premium, stop sending me jobs only available if I pay for premium, since you can't even guarantee it. This platform "service" is basically extortion. Sorry to say, but mandy.com is not worth it. You have a better chance cold calling.
