Stage 32 has been called "LinkedIn for film, television, and theater creatives," by Forbes. Operating on an interface not unlike Facebook, Stage 32 is free to sign up and get started.

Film & Video Production Social Networking

While we touched on ProductionBeast earlier regarding hiring crew – it's also a useful tool to stay connected. ProductionBeast operates as LinkedIn for the film industry. You can create your own profile and connect with those in the industry.

Connect to your IMDB page and link to a production company for easy search-ability on this subscription service.

FILM & VIDEO SOCIAL NETWORKING

Movidiam operates on a similar basis. Upload a reel to instantly connect yourself to producers, other freelancers, and filmmakers on the site. It's particularly perfect if you're looking to connect with artists in the branded content and commercial sphere.

PRODUCTION SOCIAL NETWORKING

Slated we mentioned earlier as it related to crowdfunding, but again, there's no transfer of money on this site. So we wanted to remind you of it in this section because it's primarily a social tool.

Just as a refresher, it operates by connecting your project to high net-worth investors with taste suited to your project. It functions to get meetings with producers which then lead to relationships (and huge funding).

APPS FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING

5. Facebook

Back to the basics. Facebook is a great tool to connect with others. With 1.9 billion users; it's probably a good idea.

Through your Facebook page, share photos, videos, production updates and other related content to a dedicated group of followers. Make your posts as shareable as you can to encourage fans to repost your content.

SOCIAL NETWORKING APPS

6. Instagram

While Instagram doesn't have pages like Facebook, and users can't share your posts, (although now they can share stories), there is a way to promote well on the platform. With the appropriate tagging you can gain the visibility your film needs. Learn more here.

APPS FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING

7. Twitter

And of course, Twitter. While it has fewer users than both Facebook and Instagram, it does have a relatively far reach. Many celebrities, politicians, and journalists are active on the platform, and there are some features that might actually get their attention.

VIDEO SOCIAL NETWORKING

8. YouTube

YouTube, with nearly one billion users, is probably one of the best spaces to host your (short) film. Even if you just want to post some footage of your process, a trailer, anything, there are now a ton of ways to make money on Youtube.

Most people know this so with all of the competition, it is helpful to educate yourself on tips to make your channel stand out.

SOCIAL AND VIDEO

9. Vimeo

Vimeo is also fairly common, and the perk is that you can set a password for each video. Film Festivals often accept Vimeo submissions.
