What is the core mission of your company and the types of content you specialize in?

As the first vetted network for modern media and entertainment, Portrait helps members manage valuable relationships, tap into senior contacts, stay ahead in a fast-changing landscape, and advance their careers.

What’s your organization’s origin story and/or ethos, and how does it set you apart from industry competitors?

We are the first dynamic network that connects projects and relationships across the media and entertainment landscape. A network built on what you made, not where you worked. LinkedIn was built for resumes. IMDB was built as a database, not a living networking tool. We think there’s a better way.

What projects and/or initiatives are you most proud of and why?

We have a lot of incredible tools in the Portrait app for filmmakers and industry alike. You can monitor industry trends, access financing, deadlines, opportunities and premieres. Showcase your work and see what your peers are doing now and next. We make the industry circuit work for you: see who is attending festivals and events across the calendar, you can connect, DM or save contacts for later. And we offer private groups to member orgs as a different sort of membership hub.

How does your organization approach collaboration in your process, either with your membership, other creative teams, or your clients ?

Collaboration is the foundation of all we do at Portrait. We are a network that connects people across projects, events, affiliations, and more. We have been the official networking platform for festivals and events like Deadline at Sundance, The Atlanta Film Festival, SeriesFest, Heartland Film Festival and many others. We value our partnerships with other teams in this space like The Telly Awards, Adobe, Backstage, and United Airlines, among others. Our goal is to connect pros and companies across the circuit.
