CREW ATTACHMENTS

We have developed a full-service attachment model that works: 

We handle recruitment and onboarding through to structured training, wellbeing check-ins and supervisor support. We take care of the people, process and paperwork to help new crew step up with confidence while ensuring productions maximise the impact of their training spend.

Production Support

We provide flexible, on-the-ground support to help productions plan, deliver and wrap training effectively by advising on training budgets and crew development strategy, identifying department training needs with supervisors and UPMs, and conducting crew check-ins to support both performance and wellbeing throughout your shoot. We also manage off-boarding and reporting, ensuring learnings are captured, talent is tracked and requirements are met.
