Promoted Profiles:

As well, some profiles may choose to feature direct links to their various Social Media Accounts. This way, during Newbie interviews, Talent can just direct viewers to their Newbie Talent Profile for information, or in order to get in touch with them.

​

​

*FREE* Studio Space:

 

There is a Newbie Production Fund for new projects.  Each new Web-FILM Launch Project gets submitted online, and then sits in a Web-FILM Project Submission Queue, waiting for both fans, and talent-peers, to “Like” the project. Each project must receive a certain amount of “Likes” in order to be dropped into the Funding Queue. Projects in the Funding Queue are either PENDING, or APPROVED, for funding, on a first-come-first-serve basis. Once a project’s turn in the queue has arrived, and the project is ‘Approved’ for funding, it receives a Project Number, which is needed to book Studio-space.

 

Newbie Staff/Talent have first priority with regards to studio rentals. This means, so long as the project sits in the Web-FILM Queue, and is intended to be released as a “Newbie” Films Production – since the studio’s profit cut from each project goes back into the Newbie Production Fund, which benefits everyone – Newbie Staff/Talent will not be charged to rent the studio, and need only book/reserve studio space, on a first-come-first-serve basis.

 

If the project will NOT be released as a “Newbie” Film Production – which means it does NOT require Newbie funding, and is NOT currently sitting in the Funding Queue - but will be released as a project which is independent from the Newbie brand, then although they maintain first priority for booking, Newbie Staff/Talent will be charged standard Studio Rental Fees.

​

*FREE* Private Security:

 

The skills, and talents, of those who work with us, are the very essence of Newbie. Which is why it is, literally, our business-model to put those talents on display, for the world to see, and enjoy. As such, the physical, and mental, health, and safety, of our Talent is of the utmost importance. So, the same way companies provide vehicles for those in positions which require frequent, local, travel, so too should personal security be provided for those in positions which require public exposure. And, since our entire company is all about exposing  Talent to the public, we  – as we should be – are the ones responsible for covering the cost of keeping Talent safe from public threats, at all times.
