Do the work.Own the proof.
Brands on Acumin turn strategy into budgeted briefs, then come to the network to find who shoots them. Build a portfolio you own at your own public link, pitch on the briefs that fit your craft, and earn a rating that can't be bought. Built for videographers, directors, cinematographers, editors and photographers.

Briefs that fit your work find you.
Your board opens on open briefs in your specialities, newest first, each with its budget and deadline. Widen it by speciality or industry, and a brand can send a brief straight to you.

Send a treatment, not a PDF.

Deliver the work like an agency would.

- 2Notes on the timeline: a moment or a range
Invoice at 0% commission.

A page you own
Your portfolio, at your own link.
acumin.ai/c/your-handle
Your reel, your work and your specialities, on a page you can put in any bio.
Live without a brief
It works as a standalone portfolio, whether or not a brief is live.
Yours, not a platform's
You upload your own work. Nothing is scraped, and it doesn't depend on any social account staying connected.
Reputation, built honest
A rating that can't be bought.
Marketplaces run on reviews nobody can verify. Here, the only path to a rating runs through a real booking: a brand posts the brief, books you, receives the work, then rates it.
Booking-gated ratings
A brand can only rate work it booked and received. Every rating traces to a delivered project.
The Acumin Score
Ratings roll into a 0–100 score that rewards a body of rated work over one lucky five-star, with proof by speciality ("proven in brand films") once you've earned it.
Referral cards
Each rated booking mints a brand-named card at its own public link. Your best client feedback becomes proof you can send anywhere.
Creator pricing
Free, then two tools.
Connect helps you win work. Studio helps you make it.

Creator questions, answered
Nothing. A creator account is free: profile, portfolio page, pitching, ratings, referral cards. Acumin connects you with the brand and tracks the booking; you agree terms and are paid directly by the brand. Acumin doesn't take a cut of your fee.
Deliver rated work. Ratings are booking-gated (a brand can only rate you after booking you and receiving the delivered work), and they roll into a 0–100 Acumin Score that rewards a body of rated work over one lucky five-star. Brands see the leaderboard when they look for creators, and there's no paid placement: a score can only be earned.
You do. You upload your own reel and work to your page. It isn't scraped from a platform, and it doesn't depend on any social account staying connected. Your public link works as a standalone portfolio anywhere you share it.
Every rated booking mints a shareable card (the brand's name, the star rating, the note they left and whether they'd rebook) at its own public link. It's a verified credential you can send to any prospective client, on or off Acumin.
Every booking gets a private Delivery Room. You upload versioned cuts; the brand reviews them with timecode scrubbing (frame by frame on uploaded video), notes on a moment or an in→out range, pins and drawings on the frame, and threads that resolve as the cut improves. No more feedback scattered across email, WhatsApp and a spreadsheet.
Yes. Invoice your bookings, and send standalone invoices to clients you found off-platform, both at 0% commission. Each invoice can have its own share link; the client pays you directly and Acumin never touches the money. With Creator Connect ($15/mo), your shared pitches and invoices carry only your name.
The one paid creator plan, $15/mo: white-label your shared pitches and invoices (the Acumin footer comes off), an AI pitch assistant that drafts and tightens your approach from the brief, 25GB media storage, and higher caps. Everything else (pitching, bookings, ratings, referral cards) stays free.
No. Your profile goes live the moment you claim your handle. We hold the directory to a working-professional standard after the fact instead: complete, active profiles are what brands book, and thin or inactive ones can be removed. Make your page one worth booking.
Your next booking starts with a page.
Free to join, live the moment you claim your handle, and 0% commission on every booking.
