What Our Creators Say
“I sent one self-tape through the Activeline site and four months later I was carrying a series. This company genuinely reads what you send.”
“Every promise they made in the internship listing turned out to be underselling it. Real set, real kit, real credits.”
“Activeline is the rare company where the budget is tight but the ambition is not. They protect the work.”

Common Questions
Is there a fee to join Activeline?
No. Applying to the community is free. Some advanced programs or events may carry costs, but core membership and applying for productions never does.
Do I need professional experience to apply?
No. We review every application on potential and passion. Several of our department heads started as interns with zero credits.
How do I submit my film or series idea?
Use the Apply page and select “Project Submission”. A one-page pitch and a short video or deck is plenty. We respond to every submission within four weeks.
Will you sign an NDA before I pitch?
We do not sign NDAs for initial pitches, and we never accept unsolicited full scripts. Pitch documents only at first stage.
