56. Inès Bensalem - Founder and CEO, Onset

Global Industry Spotlight is a conversational series focused on providing resources and insight for the creative entrepreneur.

Starting as an independent director and producer in France, Inès Bensalem directed and produced acclaimed short films (UN Women France Grand Jury Prize, Amnesty International) before becoming a professional producer of international award-winning feature-length documentaries and fiction films.

Realizing how difficult it is to enter the creative industry without a network, to access jobs and talent in an efficient and simple way, she founded Onset: an app that helps artists, cast, crew and talent scouts to connect around audiovisual, performing arts and photography projects, for professionals and students.
Thanks to a smart-matching technology, Onset helps you target jobs that match your profile and talents that match your search in real time.

Onset allows creators access to a network, talents and employment opportunities in a free, efficient, and easy way to connect creators locally and beyond borders, and contribute to build equity in creative industries.
