I should have contacted Media Training Center first when I was looking for a film editor for Life Stories projects. After two failed attempts over a year on my own, I sent a job description to Media Training Center and immediately I received several responses from very qualified candidates. Deciding on just one was the hardest part of the process. A day after contacting them, I secured an excellent match and the work is already in progress!

"Media Training Center was a fantastic resource when we were shooting for a documentary feature film in Missoula. We had no prior experience or recommended crew in the area and they came to our rescue, providing recommendations for every crew member we would need – a PA, a grip, an audio recordist, a Covid compliance officer and more. Our shoot went so smoothly, thanks to their knowledge and totally professional, competent crew recs. We most definitely plan to work with them again whenever we head back to the area to shoot again!"
