Our Process

Understanding Needs

StudioNow collaborated closely with Netflix to identify the specific skills required for producers to meet Netflix's high standards. Together, we defined and refined a scalable approach for global production, ensuring alignment with Netflix's vision.

The StudioNow Network

StudioNow's lead in-house producers underwent comprehensive training from Netflix's team through both in-person and virtual sessions. At the same time, we engaged our extensive creative network, vetting editors across multiple global markets to meet Netflix's  requirements.

Producer-Led Teams

StudioNow's team of trained in-house producers managed and guided our global bench of curated editors. This strategy resulted in a robust team of certified editors ready to work on Netflix titles, ensuring quality control and seamless integration for efficient trailer production.

Global Editing Simplified

StudioNow streamlined global vendor payments for Netflix, consolidating hundreds of transactions into a single payment gateway and minimizing transaction fees. By integrating Netflix's existing pool of skilled editors into our Creative Network, StudioNow ensured efficient management and protection from employment liability.

The sourcing and audition process trained hundreds of editors to work on Netflix titles, centralizing a significant portion of Netflix's ongoing work. This created a streamlined, efficient mechanism for production, offering editors new opportunities for skill development and career growth.

StudioNow and Netflix prioritized recruiting editors from underserved communities to enhance diversity and inclusion. Following the success of this model, Netflix has expanded the collaboration to include designers and copywriters. This version maintains the key points while presenting them in a concise and collaborative manner.
