Onboarding Information
Human Creative is a welfare-first agency for freelance filmmakers.
So, what does that mean?
Simply put, we hustle work for freelance filmmakers (currently this is specific to shooting editors, camera operators, editors and producers - whether LTD or Sole Trader) and whilst doing so, provide a wealth of support, resources and benefits to help everyone we represent - in such a way that we hope totally supersedes any other agency or organisation in the filmmaking industry.
Additionally, we're using the strength of our collective to set various benchmarks (which we hope become industry standards) and encourage positive changes for everyone who shares our love for filmmaking.
The information below is private to prospective members only, we ask you to kindly refrain from sharing.
What Does This Mean For You?
Human Creative is not an 'open door' agency.
Currently, our only intake path is via 'direct referral', so if you're here, it's likely because someone believes in you, your attitude and your work enough to refer you... and we clearly like what we see.
We Are Not Like Other Agencies
That might sound like some wishy washy marketing BS, but it's 100% true.
In November 2025 we changed gears, shifting against the grain of convention and becoming an entirely 'non-committal' agency.
No obligation to take the work we offer, no fees and no commission.
Plus, if you've got clients who you'd rather manage yourself (from enquiries, bookings and payments) then that's fine too.
All this with unrestricted access to our partnerships.
And they say there's no such thing as a 'free lunch'.
The Process
Your profile with Human Creative is your portfolio and acts as database we draw info, references and links from in response to the enquiries we receive.
Your profile itself is not visible to anyone but it is critical that the links and references you supply are public, sharable and not embargoed.
With that in mind, it's good to populate your profile with as much variety as possible so that you can be considered for as many requests as possible.
If we think you're the right fit for an enquiry, we will contact you for your interest/availability and pending your approval, present you as an option to the client - there is no obligation to accept the job.
If you're accepted and if it's your first time working with the client, we issue an 'Engagement Of Work' to both you and the client, confirming rates, terms, working hours, OT, cancellations, travel expenses etc.
Once this is approved, we'll connect you with the client ahead of the production start date.
Partnerships & Rewards
Upon completion of your online profile, as a full-committal member you receive immediate access to the partnerships portal - this is a growing platform where conversations don't stop happening with industry leading brands, mental health and well-being powerhouses and both independent and large retailers who share our ethos, falling within our Mind, Movement and Mastery sectors.

Bands
Levelling the playing field is a good place to start, but factoring years of experience isn't only invaluable, it's imperative.
For some projects, it's an exciting prospect to see creativity and the quality of work earn the gig, irrespective of how long you've been in the game.
However, other projects may require a level of experience and transparency - henceforth the 'band' system.
Select your band when creating your profile so that we can make this visible to clients and yes, you may need proof to back this up.
