For production companies, studios, filmmakers and podcast teams

Film, podcasts & production.

From initial design to recycling.

Good to know

your questions.

Do short excerpts even need a rights check?

Shortness alone does not allow use. The material, existing rights, licenses and, if applicable, legal permits are decisive. A trailer can also require independent testing.

Do you support small teams and individual podcasts?

Yes The assignment can be limited to a specific format, a series, a draft contract, or a publication. We coordinate the scope and fee based on specific requirements.
