Today, more than ever the importance of the creative industry is clear. Cultural content contributes to our well-being and mental health. So how can we at Openbrolly play our part in alleviating negative impacts in the short term? And how can we help identify new opportunities in the future for different stakeholders engaged in the film and production industry?

Here’s How

• We have put in place up to date government guidelines for production companies across all modules.

• Covid-19 training areas have now been added to the Crew and Facilities module. The user can also add supporting documents, such as relevant Covid-19 training certificates.

We’re now seeing signs that the filming industry is increasing productivity, but will work flow and procedures ever return to what they were? What will the new priorities in production be? Are you ready for any influx that may happen?  MovieSite and its full suite of modules have a wide range of features to give clients the service they need to keep the cogs turning in the film industry.
