CardHouse is not a marketplace. It's a company that invests in the people it works with. The Collective is how we keep that roster close. A private space where members find work, find each other, and build on the same standard.
Members get access to paid work routed through Studio, Media, Design, and Production. To monthly dinners and shoots. To a directory that actually knows who's good at what. And to a community that understands the craft.
That's the whole promise.
Studio, Media, Design and Production pull from the Collective first. Members get right of first refusal on briefs that match their discipline.
Find the exact person you need — by medium, location, style, availability. Hire within the network without the freelancer chase.
Dinners, edit nights, member shoots, field trips. Real tables, not Slack channels. Monthly in the New York tri-state, with rotating cities as the roster grows.
Member rates on CardHouse Studio and Production kit. Cameras, lighting, color suite, and edit bays when you need them.
Members refer members. Good work begets good work. The roster grows slowly, on merit, never by volume.
No job-board noise, no hustle content, no cold DMs. Just people who do the work and want to do it better.
Applications are reviewed by two members and a chamber lead. We respond within 14 days — yes, no, or "not yet, here's what'd help."
You'll hear from us within 14 days. If we need references, we'll ask then — keep an eye on the inbox you used.
