I will have some opportunities for someone or sometwo this year. Anyone know what professional add listing you can use other than Craigstlist...... I don't know of anyone on this board that is near me, other wise I would advertise here.

most of the ads I 've seen on CL are under the heading "CREW"-a friend of mine adverts there and it seems to get results.

You may want to look at Mandy's Film and TV Production Directory - television - video - broadcast (http://www.mandy.com)

I'm near you and in desperate need of work and experience :D

I'd also suggest you check your VA state film office Virginia Film Office (http://film.virginia.org/) for qualified freelancers. You are close to a great many qualified pros. I've yet to see a serious job for fair money posted on Craigslist and I'm always suspicious of anyone that posts jobs there. Finally a Google search for freelancers in your area will yield some good leads.

I'm a big believer in craigslist... but I know others have had different opinions... I think it all depends on how you use it. I started my whole business off of craigslist actually, and never accepted "low-paying" jobs.

Now I get most of my business through marketing (or repeat work and referrals) but I still use craigslist now and then. If you can't get enough work, it's the best solution IMO. I talk about it on my blog.

Good luck
