Business card Title

[dlevanchuk]

This question goes for those who wear producer/director/writer/editor hats for their films....

Looking at placing an order on vistaprint for some business cards to give out on film/music meet and greet events, but got a dilemma..

What title do you have on a business card? Director? Producer? For some reason "filmmaker" sounds waaaay too broad to me, and kind of vague..

hey, a Directors Viewfinder in the form of a biz card might actually be useful.

OMG, wheat, please don't tell me you use a director's viewfinder! Do you do that thing with your hands? Agghh!

Mine arrived today! Couldn't be better. Simple and elegant!

Very nice Phil.

Out of curiosity: what's on the other side and where did you get them from?

I ordered them at Goodprint! Really good site!

The back looks like this:

If you are experienced at directing and are meeting producers
looking for a director your card should say "director" and a link
to your reel. If you are an experienced editor your card should
reflect that and only that. Business cards are so cheap it can't
hurt to have several; assuming you are good enough at all of
them. And one, general, calling card is an excellent idea, too.

Right now I have a general calling card with no title on it at all, and a second set with 'First Assistant Camera' that I give out to specific people. I've avoided the hyphen/slash route, despite the fact that I bounce between Operator, 1AC, DIT, Gaffer, and Grip gigs (nature of beast in NorCal). Most people get the general card with just contact info on it, though if I were a smarter man I would probably ditch the "no title" route and just do a run of several variations. I'm still working to earn the title I want, when that day comes I'll have just one card.

Phil, those look great, nice layout!

CF - I like it as a calling card!
