This is to confirm that I have known Mrs. Maria Karambelas for 15 years.
In my capacity as Studio Operations Manager for TCN Channel Nine Pty. Limited, I am in daily contact with her regarding bookings for freelance personnel she has under management, such as cameramen, audio directors and assistants.
Her company Calling All Crew has become an integral part of the Australian television production scene. The Networks and independant production companies are now relying heavily on the services she provides.
Maria has a thorough understanding of our requirements and provides a vital service, often at extremely short notice and under difficult circumstances.
I would be more than happy to elaborate on this statement if required.

From: Pinn, Danny
Subject: Thank you
On behalf of resources at Seven we would like to thank Calling All Crew, and in particular Maria, for your recent and ongoing support. We have found ourselves with few options as far as crewing is concerned of late and without your help we would have been very stuck.
Thanks again,
Danny and Tom

Where would we be without Maria and Calling All Crew? We would not be in
Top Gear. We'd be Totally Wild needing Rescue (by) Special Ops!
Maria is an indefatigable supporter of those in the television production
industry and, now with her trainee section, those who want to be in the
television production industry. She knows what's going on, knows what will
work and always has a solution to a crewing dilemma.
If you're looking for television work or seeking the right team to crew a
production call Maria at Calling All Crew. She has Insight and you won't be
Lost!
Cheers Maria,
Pip

Here at Global we have used Calling All Crew every week, as we source freelance crews for various sporting and studio events in Sydney. By knowing the strength of the personnel she has on her books, she has always offered appropriate crews for these events.
Maria Karambelas has always been contactable, reliable, pleasant and professional in her dealings with us.
Many of the freelance people on her books ask that bookings be made directly with Maria, as this frees up their time to work (and not answer phone calls). We keep in constant contact with Maria so she can check her people across our many jobs, ensuring people turn up on time every time.

I have been using Calling all Crew
for the past 14 years. My primary source of crew comes from CAC and as always, I
get all the crew I need. For The OB
Group, this is my ‘one stop shop’ for all my crewing needs. I highly
recommend CAC and enjoy our long term relationship.

"Calling all Crew"
have never let us down! Maria is always pleasant, prompt and more than willing
to go the extra mile to help out. There has never been a time when Maria has
not been able to supply us with the crew we require, regardless of how little
notice is provided. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Maria
for any of your crewing requirements. Thanks Maria - we couldn't do it without
you! :-)

I would like to thank Calling All Crew and especially, Maria, for being such a supportive and proactive partner in our shoot requirements. Locating the right people for a 2 city shoot and also problem solving when it was not feasible for us to do so long distance from Hong Kong. I am glad I found them and am sure to use them again. Looking forward to a long and harmonious working relationship. I would like to add that I developed a personal & easy rapport with Maria that made my job so much easier :) Hope to meet Maria in person some day soon ! Tina Das Chowdhury

Sky Channel has had a close association with Maria Stunt of “Calling All Crew” since she started her operation in the early Nineties. During this time, Maria has provided many high quality crew members for both regular and “one-off” Sky Channel shows and teleconferences.
Maria undertakes to find crew quickly and efficiently, and has never failed to come up with the goods.
I have no hesitation in recommending Maria and her booking service, “Calling All Crew”.
Please contact me for any further information you may require.

Calling All Crew supplies me with the people I need to meet my clients needs.
I find them professional and the calibre of staff they have on their books are the best you will find anywhere. From Technical to makeup they are all there and all you need to do is contact Calling All Crew and tell Maria what you need and when and it is all done.
If I was a freelance television person this is the agency I would be putting my name with and you could not find a more professional outfit to represent you.

RedMax Entertainment has used the services of Calling All Crew for quite a few years.
The reasons are simple – they always have the right answers, the right people and great SERVICE. You just can’t ask for much more, but if you cap that off with their positive friendly attitude, then you can see why we have continually gone back to CAC year after year – and will continue to do so.”

The best place to find someone for your project is through a recommendation you trust. I can trust Maria to find me the best available person on the day. The service at Calling All Crew is impeccable. I just tell Maria what I want and she comes back to me with it all sorted. She doesn’t even groan when I move shoot dates on her over and over again. She still keeps up the friendly and efficient service.
