Your filmmaking CV is more than a list of jobs - it’s a snapshot of your creative journey.

Include your role (director, editor, cinematographer, producer, etc.), selected projects, technical skills, festival screenings, and a link to your showreel or portfolio. Keep it clear, concise, and focused on the work that best represents your voice as a filmmaker.
