How It Works

1. Describe your shoot. Tell our AI brief builder what you need — the date, location, crew type, camera requirements, and deliverables. You can type a quick sentence like "2-man crew in Charlotte tomorrow for a Fox Sports feature" and the AI will parse it into a structured brief.

2. We build your brief. The AI identifies the right service type, crew positions, gear requirements, and logistics. It asks smart follow-up questions to fill in any gaps — just like talking to an experienced production coordinator.

3. We match your crew. Once your brief is submitted, our team matches you with the best available crew from our network of 20+ full-time staff DPs and hundreds of vetted freelancers across 24+ US markets.

4. You're covered. Every shoot is backed by our full service offering: booking, equipment, payroll, and production management — all from one team that's been crewing creatives since 1997.
