I have been with CAC since 2001. Since that time Maria has been instrumental in guiding me to the Top of the tree in Technical Directors positions in Australia. In my business it pays to be available on the phone and if I am not able to take a call Maria can be contacted. In recent times most of my work is picked via email or SMS either direct from the client or via CAC. Now the CAC Website shows my availability on a calendar and I can be booked on line.

As a sound recordist, I can't really take client's calls whilst working (unless I want to owe numerous "slabs"), so having the option of directing clients to CAC has been of great benefit in helping me run my business. Most of my regular client's now know that if they can't get me on the phone, they can either check my availability and book me online at the CAC website, or if need be they can call Maria and make a booking direct. As my work often takes me interstate or overseas, I can always rely on CAC to field enquiries for me while I'm away and have often come home to a healthy diary. International clients can make bookings via the website at a time that suits them and without waking me up. The CAC website, aside from its innovative online booking feature, also allows me access to post my CV and in turn gain exposure to new clients. I in turn, have always felt confident in directing a client to CAC for crewing enquiries, having worked with many of the crew on the books. I can't imagine running my business without the support of Calling All Crew.

I have been associated with CAC as a make-up artist for over 20 years.
At all times I've found CAC founder, Maria Karambelas, to be most professional and efficient in the negotiations of crew placement.
Most importantly Maria has great people skills, and fully understands the role of each crew member.
CAC covers a broad range of film and television opportunities for all crew. I am most impressed with the CAC website and the easy-to-negotiate instructions on crews’ availabilities and ability for companies to book online.

"I've been a cameraman in Sydney for over 20 years and have been with Calling All Crew for over 12 years, and the service that they provide is invaluable. When I'm on a shoot and unable to return or take calls it's important that my clients are able to ring my agent and find out straight away whether I'm available for their shoot. If my clients don't want to phone CAC office or it's out of business hours then they can log onto the CAC website and see my availability for the next two months. A Fantastic tool!
Even though CAC is a diary service I have been lucky enough to pick up new clients through them having access to my resume on the CAC website and I've so reconnected with old clients when they've rang the agent looking for crew.
Calling All Crew are professional and efficient and I couldn't recommend them more highly."

I've been on the books at Calling All Crew since 2004 and have found the service to be invaluable to my career. Working in a freelance environment, it is so crucial to have an agent who is on the ball and Calling All Crew certainly is. When a job comes in, Maria is on the phone straight away and you have all the information you need, you're never fretting at 6pm the night before a job, still waiting for your call time. She is great at keeping you informed, even when you're on set, you'll get text messages rather than have to try and make a million phone calls in your lunch break.
I'm constantly amazed by how comprehensive Maria's knowledge of the industry is, Calling All Crew know who's who in pretty much all of the production companies and TV stations in town and they always know what's coming up.
The CAC Website is a great resource, not only can production companies view your availability and make bookings on line but the website is really well backed up, bookings are confirmed with both the production company and the crew member straight away.
Maria and her team are experienced, informed, connected and - best of all - friendly and fantastic to deal with.

Calling All Crew offers more than just a booking
service. Like any Good agency, it is Supportive, Efficient, Organized,Honest
and Professional in all its dealings.
But the key Difference is Maria is Proactive and
uses her own Extensive Experience in the Industry to approach
Clients to Build Business for her "Crew”.
I guess that why I have been with Calling All
Crew for over 10 years.
