Rob Perkins says talented crew members get forgotten simply because their names fade from memory between jobs. His fix: reach out to past collaborators with a genuine message before you need work, keeping the relationship warm enough to stay top-of-mind when new gigs come up.
I've worked with really good crew who I genuinely like hiring. Then enough time passed that when another job came in, their name just didn't pop into my head. So try reaching out before you need work. Send one genuine message to somebody you enjoyed working with. You're not asking them for a job. You're giving the relationship a chance to stay warm. Try it with one past producer today and follow me for more ways to stay hired as freelance film crew.
