Sven A: MFJF is a fabulous venue for graduates and talented, energetic young people, with a passion for film and TV, to find work.

As a production company it is exciting to help nurture talented young individuals and see them grow in confidence and ability.

Stay Still Productions has successfully employed several editors, camera assistants, and production assistants through MFJF. They have all grown through working with us, and without exception gone on to find further success within the industry.

Yuval C: I found MFJF very easy to interact with. Moreover, unlike similar websites that require a subscription, with My First Job In Film you truly get your money's worth.

There were a lot of offers, all arranged very clearly, which were aimed exactly at what I was looking for. I found it also good that the website allowed you to answer some specific questions and provide additional information, without making you fill out two and a half pages of irrelevant information.

Cornelia SD: MFJF is very easy to use and not too intimidating. I don't come from a film background so I've been nervous to try and enter the industry, but My First Job in Film made applying feel easy and very accessible. I successfully got my first job in film from the website and will be using it to apply to more jobs in the future.

It was very professional and "to the point".

Thank you MFJF!

Imogen C: Graduating without a film degree, the idea of even getting a 'foot-in-the-door' seemed impossible. MFJF came up online as a helpful site, and wow it was!

Initially, it gave me hope that there were actually opportunities out there, and subsequently also gave me the chance to take part in some amazing internships within the industry.

I am now doing freelance script reading through a MFJF partner company alongside many other freelance jobs in the industry.
