What is Friends in Film?

My hunch is someone you trust told you about Friends in Film, or you stumbled upon one of our videos, Facebook posts, or articles online. Whatever path you took, I’m really glad you’re here…. Welcome.

Friends in Film is a worldwide network of incredible people, resources, and creativity, with one characteristic in common: we are all professionals who work in the film industry. Our extensive network and resources can lead us to working together on set!

I’m Janet Urban, founder of Friends in Film, entrepreneur, writer, and an unwavering optimist dedicated to helping you become the person you most want to be.

I’ve been in the film business for 22 years and traveled the world working in film, but mostly I am grateful to make a living doing something so creative, constantly surrounded by so many inspiring people who use images, music, art, and stories to impact the world.
