This journey began with a simple insight:that we almost never know if we got the best crew on a film and extraordinary talent, perfectly suited for a project, may never even hear about the project, Today, as TouchBlack we are working to solve more than just that-doing everything we can, so making a film can be a lot easier and whole lot of fun!
To build a world class product that simplifies every non creative process in film production, to the point where TouchBlack is invisible and yet integral to every piece of content produced in the world.
To empower every film around the world with seamless access to its perfect crew, location, equipment, and resources in the shortest possible time, To offer talent limitless opportunities, enabling creative freedom to push the boundaries of their craft with abandon.
What if we could unscramble filmmaking, to the point that the only chaos is the mix of spontaneity and talent colliding to create the extraordinary!
A bunch of people with a collective Film Industry experience of over 33 years and an undying love for insights.
