film production payroll
Pay your grips, gaffers, and that one PA who ran on 4 hours of sleep — with timecards, taxes, and W-2s handled. You keep the coffee budget.
Crew clocks in from set on their phones. Meal penalties, turnaround, and overtime calculate themselves so you're not doing multiplication on a call sheet.
We register your production, withhold correctly across states, and file quarterly. When someone asks about your FEIN, you'll actually have an answer.
Loan-outs, day players, and box rentals all end up in the right bucket. Come January nobody emails you angry.
Attach the deal memo, set the rate, and every paycheck matches what you promised. No 'wait, was that scale plus ten?' arguments.
Non-union shorts to SAG-AFTRA features — pick your framework and we handle the fringe math instead of you guessing.
Juggling three projects at once? Each production stays separate, but the payroll lives in one login you'll actually remember.
“I used to spend the wrap party doing timecards in a spreadsheet. Now I do the wrap party at the wrap party. Coyote pays my crew before I've even loaded out.”
“My accountant stopped screaming at me. Loan-outs, mileage, kit fees — it just files correctly. That's the whole review.”
“We shot in three states in six weeks. I did not read a single tax form. Ten out of ten, would panic less again.”
Simple plans that scale with you.
For one-off shorts, spec spots, and passion projects with a small crew.
For working producers running back-to-back gigs all year.
For prod companies with a slate and a real accountant to impress.
