Interest is growing in Filmmaker South Africa, an online database that provides free space for movie industry-related resumes, portfolios and services. Established in August, the site has been attracting international interest where time zone differences can make establishing contact difficult.
"It`s a service that`s really needed for the South African film industry," says Lilian Baksalevowicz, owner of the site. "International companies are looking for proven services and don`t know where to find them. Our site provides them with a complete online resume and portfolio as well as contact details of the listed contacts."
Baksalevowicz is the agent for the New York-based Right Eye Agency, through which she internationally promotes South African services listed on the site.
"At the moment I am putting together a crew to shoot Mission Impossible III in Ghana," she says.
Since its inception, the site has been doubling its contact base each month. "We`ve had 300 contacts signed up since August," says Baksalevowicz.
