Who It's For

Built for
every stage.

The Markit Community serves filmmakers, producers, and investors alike — because great independent film happens where all three converge. Whether you're just starting out, actively producing, or looking to invest in qualified projects, there is a tier designed for you.

“The conversations that change careers don’t happen in pitch rooms. They happen in communities where everyone is working towards the same thing.”

Inner Circle Only — Our Most Extraordinary Benefit

One Member.
One Market.
Every Year.

Once a year, Markit selects one Inner Circle member to join the team at one of the world’s major international film markets. Full market credentials. Real meetings — with investors, distributors, sales agents, talent representatives, and financiers. You sit in the sessions. You’re in the conversations.

And when the day’s business is done, you’re with us on the most exclusive lists in the industry — yacht events, rooftop receptions, red carpet screenings, private networking dinners, and invitation-only parties where the real relationships in this industry get built. This is not a prize. This is a career-defining experience.

The Application Process

Three steps to
the Inner Circle.

01

Apply

Email info@markitproductions.co.uk with your background, your current project, and what you’re hoping to get from the Inner Circle. Be specific — the more detail you give, the better we can assess fit.

02

Team Review

The Markit team reviews every application personally. We’re looking for genuine intent, a professional approach, and a commitment to building something real in the industry. We respond within 5 working days.

03

Welcome

If accepted, you receive your private Whop link, immediate access to the full Academy library, an invitation to the next monthly call, and your first introduction to the private vetted network. The door opens that day.

From The Markit Group Team
Why serious filmmakers apply for the Inner Circle

The Inner Circle is for the filmmakers who are done waiting — who understand that the gap between where they are and where they want to be is not a talent gap. It’s an access gap. An infrastructure gap. A knowledge gap that the industry was never designed to close for you. That is exactly what the Inner Circle is built to close.

As an Inner Circle member, you get direct access to Jason Matthewson and the Markit team as we actively develop, finance, and produce a multi-million dollar slate of features and television across London, Dublin, and Los Angeles. We attend every major international film market. We sit in the rooms where deals get made. And as an Inner Circle member, you get a window — and sometimes a seat — at that table.

Here is what you unlock from day one:

1

Monthly calls with Jason — Direct face time, real questions, real answers. Built around what’s keeping you up at night — not a rehearsed agenda.

2

The full Markit Academy library — Every course, every resource, every guide. Updated as the market changes. Yours from day one.

3

A private, vetted network — Every person in the Inner Circle has been reviewed carefully. The calibre of the room is part of the value.

4

The Market Pass — Once a year, one Inner Circle member joins the Markit team at a major international film market. Full credentials. Real meetings. The rooms where careers get built.

The membership is £997 per year. Less than two hours of a standard entertainment lawyer’s time. Less than one return flight to Cannes. And it comes with direct access to a company that is in the market, in the rooms, and in the deals — every single week. Not everyone who applies is accepted. That is not gatekeeping — it is the reason membership is worth having.

Common Questions

Got questions?

Everything you need to know about the three tiers — Markit Community, Markit Producer, and the Inner Circle — before you join.

What is the difference between the three tiers?

The free Markit Community gives you Whop access, general chat, member discounts, Markit Private Pages, and discounted event tickets. The Markit Producer tier (£199/yr) adds the Filmmaker’s Blueprint, select Markit Academy courses, the recorded call library, and 20% off Summit tickets. The Inner Circle (£997/yr) goes further still: live monthly calls with Jason, the full Academy library, the private vetted network, free Summit tickets, direct project feedback, and eligibility for the annual Market Pass. Each tier is a genuine upgrade in access — not just a higher price.

What is the Markit Academy and who has access?

The Markit Academy is a growing library of professional courses built by Jason Matthewson and the Markit team from real-world producing experience. Courses cover film financing, packaging, investor relations, working film markets, distribution strategy, and career development. Markit Producer members access select courses; Inner Circle members get the full library plus all future releases.

How do the monthly live calls work?

Every month, Inner Circle members join a live video call with Jason and the Markit team. Each call is built around member questions — not a pre-written script. Members submit their biggest challenge or question in advance, and that becomes the agenda. Calls run 60–90 minutes and are recorded. Markit Producer members have access to the recorded call library but do not attend live. Free Community members do not have access to calls or recordings.

Is the Inner Circle right for me if I am just starting out?

The Inner Circle is not defined by how far along your career is — it is defined by how serious you are. We have members working on their first feature and members producing at scale. What they share is intentionality. If you are not yet ready for the Inner Circle, the Markit Producer tier is the right place to start — the Blueprint and Academy courses alone will give you the foundation most filmmakers spend years trying to build. You can always upgrade when the time is right.

How selective is the Inner Circle application process?

The Markit team reviews every Inner Circle application personally. We are looking for genuine intent, a professional approach, and someone who will contribute to and benefit from the room. Applications that are specific about what the applicant is working on and what they want from the membership are far more likely to be accepted. We respond to every application within 5 working days. Not every application is accepted — the value of the network depends on the quality of the people in it. The free Community and Producer tiers require no vetting and are open to all.

What exactly is the Market Pass and how is the recipient chosen?

Once a year, Markit selects one Inner Circle member to join the team at a major international film market — Cannes, EFM Berlin, AFM Los Angeles, or the London Film Festival. Markit covers the full market credentials. The selected member attends real meetings alongside the Markit team with investors, sales agents, distributors, and financiers. The recipient is chosen based on engagement, contribution to the community, and potential — not seniority. The member who shows up, asks questions, contributes ideas, and demonstrates drive is the member most likely to be selected. The Market Pass is exclusive to Inner Circle members.
