MZed, the educational filmmaking platform, has launched a special initiative where filmmakers can support each other. During April, when you purchase an MZed Pro membership you’ll also receive another MZed Pro membership as a gift, that you can give to someone else. Read on how it works.
Make filmmaking education more accessible
According to MZed, this initiative is the biggest-ever in MZed’s fifty-year history, that was created directly as a result of requests from the global filmmaking community, to make MZed education more accessible during this difficult time due to COVID-19 restrictors. Although the coronavirus has been negatively affecting the filmmaking industry, these are the best times to get educated. As we wrote before, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. MZed explains: “In our isolated world right now, here is a way you can reach out to another filmmaker and connect over a shared love of filmmaking and learning. We’re all in this together, and if we’re going to be spending a lot of time at home, we may as well learn together as well”.

Get One, Give One
Today, MZed announced for a unique offer titled “Get One, Give One”, which means anyone that joins MZed Pro during April will receive a second membership free, to gift to a friend or colleague. According to MZed, it can be a thoughtful gesture for a fellow filmmaker that is in need of a pick-me-up, or a reminder that now is a time to invest in your skills to be best prepared for when productions and jobs start back up again”.
How does it work?
When you buy an MZed Pro membership, you’ll get an email with a unique discount code for one free MZed Pro membership. The email will have instructions for how to register the gift membership via MZed’s site. You can select anyone you want to receive the gift membership, as long as you have their email address. Then your recipient will receive an email with their login instructions and they’ll be ready get started!
P.S. MZed honors this deal for anyone who has joined MZed during the past two weeks. So if you purchased an MZed Pro membership between March 15-31, get in touch with them and they’ll supply you a discount code for a gift membership. Click here for the Terms of service.
Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that 20% of all MZed purchases will be donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to provide meals to feed hungry children, seniors, and families. That’s a very nice gesture!
