The Complete Directory of Students in
Film & Video Production

Crew Call!, the Complete Film and Video Student Directory is the first and only publication of its kind serving Los Angeles and San Diego film students. We work closely with schools such American Film Institute (AFI), the Los Angeles Film School (LAFS) and others to create a comprehensive directory, allowing students to contact each other to work together on projects as well as make them available for work on paid independent productions. BENEFITS Advertising in Crew Call! is strictly limited to select businesses that provide important services directed to our readers. Potential advertisers are only contacted because we, ourselves, enjoy their products or feel our readers will. The businesses benefit by expanding into an exclusive niche market and we benefit by raising funds to print our book, a valuable resource to the student filmmaking community. Many businesses appreciate the benefit of exposing their products and services to students. Such businesses make excellent incomes from students but, more importantly, form a lasting relationship that continues throughout the filmmaker’s career. A filmmaker who brings you his first semester class project for processing will be the same filmmaker who brings you his $500,000 feature film a few years later. It is vital to provide quality services to student filmmakers at affordable prices such as craft services, film processing, printing, etc. Student filmmakers benefit by having reasonably priced quality services at their fingertips in our directory. Your advertisement, especially when offering a discounted rate, provides students access to the necessary tools to learn their trade and launch their careers in this very competitive industry. TARGET AUDIENCE (READERSHIP) Our target audience includes:
SALES AND CIRCULATION We are guaranteeing your advertisement will appear in a minimum of 5,000 copies of our book. The book is kept in circulation for one year and is reprinted throughout the year as needed. Currently we are expecting to increase circulation in 2005 to as much 20,000 with our increased distribution through film schools and trad organisations. Should the book be reprinted, your advertisement will appear in an even greater number of copies. These copies will be distributed through our website, through Los Angeles and San Diego film schools (UCLA, LACC, SDSU, etc.), local trade organizations (IFP West, ASIFA, etc), film commissions, conventions (Show Biz Expo, DV Expo, etc.) and book stores (Samuel French, Script-a-Palooza, etc).

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS We prefer completed, print-ready advertisements. However, you may also send text and graphics for us to assemble to fit your ad space for a nominal charge of $50. When designing your ad please keep any text within the type area (1cm in from edge of page on all sides). Full page advertisements may bleed off the edge of the page if desired and may therefore be created to fit 5.5” wide x 8.5”. If a bleed is desired, the image must extend 1/8” (.125”) past the page's edge to compensate for any variance during the cutting of the book. You may send us your advertisement in two ways:
Please send image files or printed hard copies at optimum resolution. 300 to 600 dpi for line art (or bitmap). Your ad must be received in the correct format by the material due date, allowing us time to assemble the advertisement if necessary and send you a proof for your approval. Electronic files should be supplied to us in
any one of the following common formats:
Send files on any of the following:
Remember, a Macintosh can read a PC disc, but a PC cannot read a Macintosh disc. We are working on PC’s for the foreseeable future. You may also make arrangements to e-mail your advertisement to us as an attachment but we prefer disc and hard copies.

CrewCallDirectory.com ads are Free with purchase of book ad space. For Web ad space by itself is $350 for 12 months, simultaneously to the time the directory with your advertisement is in stores.
