The Knowledge

Online/Digital
The Knowledge book was first published in 1986 by three production managers, who decided to get together and pool their contacts and expertise. The result, thirty years on, is a directory that has become known as the industry bible for film and TV professionals. Twelve years after the print edition was launched, the website was born. Theknowledgeonline.com quickly became a one-stop shop for those looking for crew, service providers, suppliers and anyone who may work behind the camera in film and television. A few years later we launched The Knowledge Bulletin. This weekly news digest now carries advertising as well as a potted version of the varied original content – news, features and guides - published over the last seven days, and goes out to over 20,000 people.
