Who can Join?

Anyone who works in the film industry. This may include anyone from on-set crew members to distributors to festival reps, although our application process is weighted towards freelance crew members. Actors and other talent are currently not being considered for regular membership, but if you apply under this category, we will keep your information on file to invite you to special events we hold that might interest you.

There are two ways to join Cinema Jam. One is to submit your film. Otherwise read on.

Members of Cinema Jam are not necessarily at the peak of their careers, but to join you should already be working professionally in your field. For freelancers this means at least one year of paid experience in your respective department. For directors and producers this means a minimum of two credits, although if your only credits are short films, you’re more likely to gain membership through screening with us. Also, as the whole idea of Cinema Jam is to strengthen a community, naturally it helps if you know someone who’s already a member.
