Guidelines for Inclusion

in the NYC Film Production Resources Locator

Several requests have prompted me to develop a set of guidelines for those who want to be included among these pages.

My concern is always with balancing a desire to be inclusive with a need to insure that the listings have integrity, validity and usefulness as a reference.

For this reason I need some support information that I can keep onfile.

• Please send all requests as email.
  • Please include the words request for inclusion in NYCFPRL in email headings.

Production-related Businesses:

• A paragraph describing the nature of the business and the length of time you've been in business.
  • Businesses less than two years old need to furnish references for three different clients for whom they've worked.
• The catagory (or catagories) under which you'd like to be listed.
  • Where possible, try to work within the catagories that are defined by the locator. If this isn't possible, you should request creation of a new catagory.
• Your business name, address, and phone numbers.
• The name of a prime contact person at the business.
• E-mail address(es).
  • Specify if you'd like an e-mail mail-to link on your listing.
• URL's of web sites.
  • Again, specify if you would like one linked to the business name.

Individual Crew People:

• A paragraph describing your work, especially areas of specialization and the length of time you've been working in this capacity.
  • Crew people who are members of unions or guilds should give their union affiliations, especially the Local number.
  • Non-union crew people need to furnish a list of three recent clients (producers, coordinators, etc.) for whom they've worked (in the capacity under which they seek to be listed).
    • This list must include up-to-date contact names as well as phone numbers.
• Make sure you specify the exact crew catagory under which you'd like to be listed.
• Your professional name and phone numbers (including fax, cel, etc.)
• E-mail address(es).
  • Specify whether you'd like an e-mail link included with your listing.
• URL's of your own web site.
  • Again, specify if you want a link to your name.

Thanks for following these guidelines with your requests. Having all the necessary information from the start will greatly reduce the time spent shuttling e-mail and checking out credentials.

This project demands a lot of time in editing and updating. There may be some delays in listing due to outside work flow. If all the necessary information arrives on first contact, requests should get turned around at a faster rate.

The lack of volunteer time available to support the maintenance of this site has been a serious concern since its inception (back in 1996, when the WWW was relatively new and few film people imagined needing a website for funneling traffic). I'm considering the collection of modest fees in return for website links and prominent placement in the listings. Please feel free to make comment on this idea.
