Residuals

Residuals have been around since 1953. A lot’s changed since then.

No matter the size of your title library, it’s crucial to pay your film and TV residuals on time and according to the appropriate reuse formulas to maintain good standing with the guilds. We handle residuals processing for some of the world’s leading TV networks, studios, and streaming platforms. The key to our success? Flexibility.

Say When

You decide when to cut residual checks.

Why should your residuals service decide when you make your residual payments to talent? We provide estimates of your run in advance and only pull the trigger when you say go. This not only gives you the rightful power to time your payments as you need, but also saves you vast amounts on reprint charges. Our transparent pricing means you’ll never be charged a hidden fee for estimates.
