| Shooting people's online community in the United Kingdom and New York takes the best of web community services and offers it to filmmakers looking to break into the business. It seems that some of the establishment also reads the postings and subscribes to the list as a way of scouting new talent.
While the email newsletters cover the seemingly mundane topics like the debates about the rules for "asking for free labour", it also covers very poingnant topics like distribution. The members themselves contribute information about events, jobs, debates, questions and anything else pertinant. Unlike some other lists Shooting People has editors for its newsletters so only the most useful information gets in. I recommend this group to anyone coming into the industry in the UK or US. From its comprehensive books like "The UK Film Finance Guide" to its daily newsletters, you will find this an absolutely priceless, simple, straight-forward resource.
