WHY?
Caribbean audiovisual deserves to be visible
CFCDb brings together film, sound, editing and animation skills for talent and productions hiring across the region, in French, English and Spanish.
The problems behind it
CFCDb was not born from a market study. It answers difficulties its initiator encounters in his own work, and that colleagues and partners encounter too.
Knowing who can do what
Who is a chief electrician in Guadeloupe? Who does compositing in Port-au-Prince, and at what level? Today, the answer lives in address books.
Hiring elsewhere for lack of knowledge
Productions bring teams in from outside. Not because local know-how is missing, but because no reference tool makes it discoverable.
Existing beyond your network
A technician is known by people they have already worked with. Everyone else does not know they exist, and those who moved away disappear from view.
Islands that cannot see each other
The Caribbean speaks French, Creole, English and Spanish. A Martinique production does not know what happens in Kingston or San Juan, and vice versa.
Three answers in one tool
A directory to find each other, a job board to work together, and a community to keep the tool alive.
The directory
Each professional declares their roles and a level from 1 to 7 for each one. Search by skill, territory and availability across 197 roles in 22 departments.
The job board
Productions publish projects and the roles they need, with a minimum level. Apply with your CFCDb profile, without attaching a CV.
The community
A tool only lives when people use it. Discord for daily mutual help, News for shoots, training and festivals: this is where the network speaks.
What you gain
Territorial visibility
A profile by skill and territory, browsable in French, English and Spanish. No opaque algorithm or advertising.
Verifiable trust
Portfolio links, completion badges, light moderation and reporting for serious connections.
Integrated job board
