Now deploying

Know what’s happening on set. While it’s still happening.

Every hold, every incident, every decision goes out over the walkie first — and then it’s gone. Krewmate logs the radio traffic and organizes it into a live picture of your day, while you can still do something about it.

What it does

Walkie chatter, mapped in real time.

See today while it’s still today

Holds, delays and milestones as they happen, not in tomorrow’s production report. Across all your channels, whether you’re in the next room or on another continent.
Everyone works off the same picture

On set, in the office, en route: everyone sees the same live state of the day, so nobody has to call set to find out what is happening.
One source instead of a dozen

Building the production report stops meaning an eleventh-hour hunt through email threads, texts and a half-updated spreadsheet. Arrivals, departures, holds and incidents are already in one log, time-stamped as the day happens.
When something goes wrong, you have the record

An accurate, time-stamped account of what happened and how it was handled, whenever you need it.

Use cases

Where it earns its keep.

For the office

The people who call set.

The office, the studio, the financier. They get exactly the data they need, and your team stops fielding status calls.
For the 2nd AD

The production report.

Key data and milestones are captured as they happen. The 2nd AD starts from a record, not from text threads.
For international crews

Crews in two languages.

Live translation of walkie traffic for crew who do not speak the local language. Off set, milestones only, in your language.
For department heads

Two units, one screen.

Track main and second unit side by side. No runners, no phone calls. Be in two places at once.
For the whole crew

A “rolling” light for everyone.

A van pulls up to set not realizing everyone went quiet because cameras are rolling, and the sound ruins the take. Automated rolling notifications alert the whole crew, on set and on the way, the moment cameras roll.
For producers and UPMs

Why exactly did we go into overtime?

See where the day went: time lost to weather, equipment failure or a late company move, and how often it keeps happening.

For everyone on set

A “black box” for the day.

After Rust, the whole industry watched a production try to reconstruct a day from witness accounts, texts and testimony. Nobody should have to do that.

Krew does not replace safety protocols or human judgment. It keeps a time-stamped record of the radio milestones and safety calls, so that if a production ever has to look back at a day, it can start from what was communicated at the time instead of from recollection. A simple, shared record of the day is one small way to look out for the people on set and the people responsible for them.

The value

What’s Krew worth on your set?

Better calls in the moment, less avoidable downtime. Here’s how much time the Krewmate has to protect before it pays for itself.

Budget

Shoot days

Typical for a feature this size — adjust if yours differs.

Production type

40 seconds

Save that much on an average shoot day and the Krewmate covers its own cost. That’s about one interrupted take, or one crew member held while somebody tracks down an answer.

How this works. We estimate what a minute of your shooting time is worth from the budget and schedule you set above, then weigh it against what the Krewmate costs a production your size. Directional, and benchmarked on a 2026 studio-scale production — not a guarantee.

Why it exists

The official record of your shoot is wrong 12× a day.

We spent five months inside a studio-scale production reading everything it wrote down. The official paperwork (built from dozens of sources, cleared by three rounds of human review, submitted to the unions) held 800+ inconsistencies. Many of them affected pay, compliance and liability.

It wasn’t carelessness. There’s no single record of a shoot day — it gets pieced together afterward from what people remember and whatever happened to get written down.

That ground truth is already on the walkie, and Krewmate makes it visible, so your production runs on a single unified record.

Privacy & trust

Straight answers.

The first question everyone asks

Is this surveillance?

No, and it’s less scary than it sounds. We built Krew to protect the people on set and the people above it, with a few very specific guardrails baked in. Here they are.

Your team is in control. You choose the channels and who gets access to what.
Only designated channels are included. Side channels and private conversations stay private.
The comms stay on set. The only people with permission to see transcripts are the same people who hear the radio today. The data goes nowhere it does not already go.
Nothing is attributed to individuals. Even on set, transcripts are tied to departments, never to people. That rules out individual performance monitoring.
Off set, people only see milestones. “Weather hold, 48 min.” Never a transcript of who said what.

Can this help us save on insurance?

There is a good chance. We are in conversations with some of the largest insurance brokers in the world. The goal is a reduced premium for any production that runs Krewmate on set. A record of the day can support the claims process, and that is worth money to a carrier.

Those partnerships are still in the works. We cannot promise you a number yet, but we are happy to give you the materials to make the case to your own broker today.

What does Krew actually hear?

Only what already goes out over the air to everyone on comms, on the channels your AD designates. It is not a microphone. It does not record talk that is not on radio. It has no idea what you said at crafty, or on the side channel you switched to.

Is this legal? What about the unions?

In the U.S., radio traffic is considered public. Even so, we highly recommend that you explain Krew to the crew, and we are happy to help. We give you example language for the call sheet and the deal memo.

To comply with union regulations and support every worker on set, our terms of service expressly forbid the use of Krew to monitor individual performance or to discipline individuals.

Is this one more thing to manage?

No, nobody has to run it. Turn it on. Put it on set. Go make a movie.

There is nothing to file. The real-time dashboard keeps everyone on and off set on the same page. If Krew labels an event wrong, anyone with access can correct it in seconds. Each correction is logged, so the record stays trustworthy.

Will it work with our radios?

Yes. Krewmate works out of the box with CP200s and all standard production radio systems. No changes to your radios or your channels.

Which channels does it hear?

The channels you choose, for example 1, 5 and 16. It ignores the rest. Side channels are never monitored unless your AD or UPM adds them. You can change the channels at any time.

Does it work?

We spent five months on an $80M studio production and compared the paperwork to the day. The official record was wrong about 12 times a day. We found more than 800 errors in reports that passed three rounds of human review. Many affected pay, compliance and liability.

Krew gives everyone a single record of the day, straight from the source.

What do you need to start?

Your radio channel list
Who gets access, on set and off
Point of contact on set (usually the 2nd AD, the production coordinator or the radios PA)
Shipping address
Start date

That is it. We do the rest.
