In addition to the IFP industry directory, access to FILMMAKER Magazine, as well as online panels & workshops from IFP's signature programs, the service will include doddle's database, which boasts over a million listings for vendors, crew, talent, hospitality, food, film offices, and other resources necessary for developing, producing and distributing film and media projects at all budget levels.

About doddle:
doddle is a database of resources for the film and television industry. Listings include vendors, crew, talent, hospitality, food, film offices, and more across the country, in the UK and soon all over the world. It is available as an app and as an online directory at http://www.doddleme.com, and industry leaders are beginning to call doddle the "New Bible" for anyone planning a film or television project. doddlePRO, which debuted at Sundance Film Festival 2011, allows users to create and share patent-pending, digital call sheets using their iPhones, reducing and hopefully ultimately eliminating the amount of paper needed during a film project.
