The problem with phones on set
NDAs don't prevent leaks
NDAs give legal protection if something goes wrong, but they don't stop anyone from filming in the first place. A casting reveal, unfinished scene or costume can be captured and shared in seconds, long before a production has the chance to respond.
Phones Break Focus
A working set depends on hundreds of people being present and ready. Unnecessary phone use creates distractions that lead to missed cues, slower turnarounds and avoidable safety issues.
A Closed Set Should Stay Closed
Talent and creators work differently when they know uncontrolled cameras aren't pointed at them. Ensuring that peace of mind gives people on set more freedom to experiment, take risks and focus on the work.
We provide secure, lockable phone pouches for cast, crew, and production staff.
Phones away. Creativity Flows. Your process is secure.
This leads to a lower risk of leaks of the course of production.
What Changes When Phones Are Locked
Fewer Leaks: if a phone can't access its camera, unreleased footage and production details stay locked.
Better Focus: Fewer distractions mean cast and crew stay engaged with what's happening on set.
Creative Freedom: Talent can work knowing the production environment isn't surrounded by potential cameras.
IP Protection: Scripts, sets, costumes, casting, footage and more remain under control until release.
Simple On-Set Process: Phones can be secured at check-in and unlocked at designated locations, staying practical throughout a production day.
Purchasing and Leasing Options
Production Lease
Pouches and unlockers arrive before your first day of photography and stay through wrap. Priced by unit count and production length, not by the day. Hiatus weeks, weather days, and holds don't cost you extra.
Our pouches stay with you from prep to wrap, re-shoots and pickups are included, loss and damage are covered, return shipping is included and the bills go to the production, not the studio.
Outright Purchase
$25 a pouch, yours permanently. Buy the fleet once, deploy it across every future production. They become a capitalized asset instead of a recurring production expense, and it pays for itself inside a couple of shoots.
Pouches contain options for custom branding, can be re-ordered at a locked-in price, with no per-use fee and an option for annual servicing.
