About this template
The Industry — Film Production template is a dark cinema CV set in Bebas Neue and Courier Prime on near-black paper, with gold and red accents. The header reads as a slate, sections stack like end-credits — engineered so a director, DP or producer is identified at a glance by a casting director, commissioning editor or festival selection committee.
Who is it for?
It suits directors, DPs, producers, line producers, editors and post-production supervisors targeting studios (A24, Searchlight, Neon, Annapurna, Focus Features, Universal, Warner Bros, Working Title, Studiocanal), streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu) and indie production companies. Equally relevant for festival-circuit profiles (Sundance, Cannes, Berlinale, Toronto, Venice, SXSW, Tribeca).
How to use it
List works by function and year (feature, limited series, documentary, short, commercial). For each credit, state title, exact role (DP, key grip, first AC, gaffer, editor, sound mixer), director, production company and the most significant festival selection (Sundance Premieres, Cannes Competition, Berlinale Panorama, Toronto Special Presentation, Venice Orizzonti). The IMDb Pro page must appear in the header next to the phone number — it is the first source recruiters cross-check.
Frequently asked questions
How do I list a work not yet released theatrically?
State 'in post-production' or 'release 2026' depending on status, with director and production confirmed. Recruiters verify via IMDb Pro, Cineuropa, Variety Insight and Production Weekly. For an undisclosed feature pre-press-announcement, stay on function and director without the title — the industry respects embargoes and reads transparency as discipline.
Should I list guild and union memberships?
Yes for technical and authorial profiles. DGA, WGA, IATSE Local 600 (cinematographers), Local 700 (editors), 800 (production designers), 705 (costume), ASC, BAFTA Crew, BSC, AAFA: these are first-read sector signals. For producer profiles, add PGA, USPA or BFI Council membership depending on territory and project mix.
Does it fit streaming-series applications?
Yes. Streamers (Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+) recognise the credit format and read the distinction between single-episode, block-of-episodes and full-season responsibility. Name the showrunner where applicable, the season, the number of episodes directed/produced and the runtime format (60' premium drama, 30' streaming comedy, anthology limited series).
