Newly Revamped Web Company Announces Innovative Professional Networking and Freelance Bidding Platform for the Film & Entertainment Industry

Jonny Formby today unveiled TheFYC.com, an acronym for "For Your Consideration," a state-of-the-art online platform for film, television and stage professionals to showcase their skills, promote their projects, find work and connect with one another.

In an age of technology reinventing how people connect and promote themselves, many online platforms have emerged: weblogs, forums, employment sites, social and media networks.

"What is missing from all previous choices" says Jonny Formby, British-American entrepreneur and TheFYC founder, "is a platform whereby industry professionals can do it all -- without fees or lengthy contracts.” TheFYC fills that void.

Having been involved with the film and entertainment industry for more than thirty years, Formby was particularly sensitive to the website’s construct and core goals. "Our focal point is the talent and behind-the-scenes professionals, to be their quintessential access-exposure network by providing a one-stop solution free-of-charge."

"We also understand” he continues, “many production managers, producers and directors are experiencing continual skill and service gaps in their project efforts.”

The challenges and expense of hiring diversely skilled individuals has many in the industry exploring other options to meet their growing needs. Formby reports: "Outsourcing continues to be a practical necessity in attempting to operate an effective, within-budget project."

"To that end," he adds, "We offer a wealth of talent and resources for employers to consider; and our Freelance Bidding Platform enables the industry establishment and independent professionals to place and bid on projects."

Through TheFYC Freelance Bidding Platform, project managers can post an unlimited number of projects and receive competitively priced quotes from independent professionals. This extended web service is slated to launch in March 2010. However they are allowing employers to register for the launch alert.

Formby also sees an increasing number of industry professionals emerging to address the growing demand for these niche skill sets. He points out, "There are many film and entertainment professionals that will use TheFYC as a powerful channel for building their client base and growing their revenues. The freelancing opportunities in this niche market are endless."

Formby emphasized TheFYC is committed to watching emerging trends in technology and the industry, as well as continuing to recruit talent in all areas.

"We operate under the mindset of this being the age of advancement." Formby asserts, “We are continually looking forward to harnessing technology that meets the needs of our base—the film and entertainment professional."
