Online presence The Callsheet launched its website in October 2009 and aims to become the most widely used portal for information about the African film industry. In addition to the website, The Callsheet publishes a daily production information sheet during season, bringing producers up-to-date weather forecasts, traffic closures, and exchange rates, among other things. The Callsheet is also on Twitter and Facebook.
