Great news is that in our first three weeks there have been 44 feature films uploaded onto the site… many of which are seeking to recruit crew and cast – even if they don’t post a job many are still seeking talent on the site!
We have, of course, only just started and there will be lot improvements as more members sign up!
For now, there are a couple of links that will help you -
Actor Jobs – to find our latest film castings
Movie Jobs – to find our latest film crew positions
Hi Guys,
Thanks to all of 600+ of you who signed up to the site since we opened last week – the site is really coming together. There are now a staggering 61 movie projects on the site at various stages of production – many of whom are seeking talent for their productions.
We’ve made some big changes overnight and the site is looking really good.
Here’s a quick summary of the main improvements:
1. Talent Searching – a massive improvement was uploaded last night, now it should be much easier to find who you’re looking for!
2. Video Encoded – we put up some big fixes over the weekend so this should be working much better now
3. Homepage – Up-coming jobs are now displayed on your personal homepage as well as all the latest movie projects that people are working on (and hopefully will be posting jobs for!)
Do check in to your account to have a look – we hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Here’s the quick link to the site http://bit.ly/7en53d
TO DO:
Next steps are to work on the Projects section and Jobs which will now be receiving some attention.
Thanks for your support, please continue to help us grow the site and make it a really good place for you to promote your work and meet others film makers. Every single person on the site matters to it’s success, so the more we have the better 
As always feel free to give us feedback we can’t make OFC what you want it to be without it!!!
With best wishes

We wanted to give you an update regarding progress on the site. Thanks to many of you who have emailed or messaged us with improvement suggestions and bugs you’ve found – every piece of feedback from our growing membership has been invaluable! You will soon start to see many of your suggestions implemented as fast as we can get them out the door.
As some of you know there have unfortunately been some teething issues with the site – some of which we have only discovered as the traffic has increased significantly. The issues of note that we thought you might be interested in:
- The “Oops something broke screen” – In actual fact nothing is broken in most cases and a quick press of F5 loads the page perfectly. We’re working on a bug fix ASAP as we know it is very annoying please bare with us.
- Most, if not all of the registration issues should be resolved and those who needed their subscriptions sorted out should now be happily logged in. If you are not, please do email us and we’ll get your account sorted out ASAP.
- Filmography and credits can be entered now – sorry about this error! There are plenty of improvements in train for entry of your filmography, but if you do have something you’d love to see in this area, here’s your chance to let us know!
- Even though our browsers of choice are Firefox, Chrome and Safari, (Craig says that Internet Explorer is the work of the devil) there is a bug in Chrome that’s causing problems with date validation when you’re entering a job. We’re getting this fixed ASAP.
- Talent searching has lots of improvements on the way, very, very soon! Have a suggestion? Let us know.
There are a few other minor issues scattered around the site and we are working very hard to get them fixed as quickly as we find them - please do bare with us we’re only a small team. Certain pieces of functionality aren’t quite finished yet (in particular, deleting of video and projects) so please give us a little time to get them rolled out.
Once these issues are dealt with we will begin to work on the major functionality improvements we have in the pipeline – there are a lot of exciting things we want to do!
If you find any issues, or have any general comments, improvement suggestions or just feel like a chat do email/message/facebook/twitter us! This is your site and we want it to be great for you.
With very best wishes
