Digital asset management for film and TV production
From set to EPK in one platform, not five tools duct-taped together
Trusted by
Teams behind Oscar- & Emmy-winning productions
Talent review on their phone. Kills tracked against contract.
Send a secure link and talent approve or kill images from any device. Every kill counts against their contractual limit automatically, with solo and group shots tracked separately and a timestamped record for clearance.
- Per-talent kill percentages, enforced automatically
- Mobile approval — no app install
- Timestamped for SAG-AFTRA clearance
Ship approved stills without the leak risk.
Deliver watermarked previews and finals through expiring links. Photographer credits and IPTC metadata travel with every export, so no stripped credits and no unsecured WeTransfer.
- Watermarked, expiring share links
- IPTC credits preserved through every export
- EPK packages in minutes, not weeks
Every view, download, and approval, logged.
A complete, timestamped audit trail across the whole project. When a distributor asks for chain-of-title documentation, it's already there.
- Every action timestamped, by member
- Filter by action, member, or date
- Built for the security review, not just the shoot
ReelStorage is the digital asset management platform for film and TV production stills. Storage, talent approvals and kill rights, secure distribution, and a full audit trail in one place, working alongside the photo lab you already use.
A feature or a TV season generates 50,000–500,000 unit stills. Most teams juggle them across five or six tools that were never meant to talk to each other: Dropbox for raw files, email for approvals, a spreadsheet for kill rights, WeTransfer for EPKs. Credits get stripped, kills go untracked, and chain-of-title gaps surface the moment a distributor asks for clearance.
Why production stills break generic tools
- Approvals move at email speed. A PDF contact sheet, a rep's inbox, and days of waiting, then "kill #47, #112, and the one where I'm looking left." Good luck matching that to your files.
- Kill rights live in spreadsheets. A-list talent may carry 30–50% kill rights on solo shots; supporting cast less. One formula error is a breach of contract.
- Chain of title has holes. Reconstructing an approval history from six months of email threads the day a distributor asks for it is not documentation.
Built for how productions actually work
- SAG-AFTRA kill rights are contractual, not optional. They're tracked and enforced per talent, solo and group shots separately.
- MPA security standards apply to studio productions: real access controls, audit trails, and watermarking, not bolted-on demo features.
- Compressed timelines mean same-day EPK delivery is the expectation now, not a nice-to-have.
- Photographer credits have to survive the pipeline. IPTC metadata travels with every export, so the name in the file is still there when the shot runs.
Who it's for
- Unit publicists who spend more time chasing approvals than planning publicity.
- Unit still photographers who want their day to be upload, tag, deliver, and go home.
- Producers and coordinators who need oversight of the stills pipeline without getting buried in it.
