Northern Ireland Screen launches new industry database to catalyse growth in the local screen industry
Date Posted: February 6, 2024
Northern Ireland Screen has today introduced a new Screen Industry Database, an innovative platform designed to connect indigenous and international productions with the thriving local crew base, while also spotlighting production companies, screen services, and facilities in Northern Ireland.
The Northern Ireland Screen Industry Database comes as a response to the industry’s growing demand for a centralised hub that facilitates efficient collaboration and showcases the wealth of talent and resources Northern Ireland has to offer.
Local screen professionals from all industry sectors are encouraged to register a free profile on the Northern Ireland Screen Industry Database. Each individual profile will capture contact details, job roles, areas of interest, availability and allows users to highlight their professional links and portfolios, relevant skillset as well as credits and awards for projects they have worked on. It will also allow users to register their interest in skills development opportunities with Northern Ireland Screen.
Local production companies will also be able to register profiles on the Northern Ireland Screen Industry Database highlighting contact details for key staff and personnel, showreels, credits, awards and projects currently in development as well as services and/ or amenities available.
The database will have an Upcoming Productions section offering registered users exclusive access to crew calls, productions will share general crew calls but can also target individuals with a specific skill set for more specific roles.
The Northern Ireland Screen Industry Database facilitates workforce development tracking to support the sustainable growth of the Northern Ireland screen sector by providing open hiring practices and access to opportunities for all.
