‘Free’ Membership:
Wow, Free !!
You don’t get anything for free these days… so we would suggest you sign up immediately and start advertising your Contact details, Skillset and Experience to the world.
Not to mention all the networking you can do !
‘Support the WFN’ Membership:
For those of you who are wise enough to appreciate that you do not get anything for free these days, and that even this website has monthly running costs such as DNS registration, hosting, database fees and ICO registration etc. we have given you the option (Should you be kind enough) to help pay a little something towards the running costs of the site, and thus helping to maintain the success and longevity of the website.
We feel that the sum of just £1 a month is such a small sum that you will not even notice it. However, if all of our WFN members were kind enough to sign up via this ‘supporter’ tier, it would make a very big difference to lifespan of the website, and the options the WFN can offer you, in addition to advertising your contact details etc. to the world.
You may join the WFN as a Amateur, Student, Wannabe or Professional:
( You do not have to be a professional working in the television / film / photographic orientated industries to become a member of the Wildlife Film Network )
Whilst we happily welcome memberships from professionals, the WFN network is also heavily geared towards getting members who are already working in the production industry (but not necessarily in wildlife) as well as members that are not working in any form of wildlife production or wildlife orientated organisation; to be able to gain more experience and learn new practical skills in whatever area of ‘the world of wildlife’ they wish to work in. Whether it be it be camerawork, script writing, logistics, studying one of the specialist scientific subjects or generally working in a conservation capacity as a volunteer.
The Wildlife Film Network is here to help you advertise your skills and interests to the world (via this website) whilst further developing your fundamental ‘contacts list’ (via face-to-face networking meetings); and giving you the opportunity to become involved in collaborative productions of wildlife television documentaries and films that the WFM members will themselves be producing (via the WFN’s in-house production company).
