NeedaCrew connects crew, talent and productions. Producers choose who they book, and each booking is between them and the person they hire.
How it works
NeedaCrew is where film and TV crew and producers find each other and lock in the deal. The reason to keep it on the platform is simple: the money goes straight to the crew, and everyone's working off a real track record.
Pay by card through NeedaCrew and it goes straight to your crew's Stripe account. We add our 5%.
Producer pays by card
Once the booking's confirmed, the producer pays the crew rate plus our 5% by card. Card processing is included, so that's the whole price. That 5% is what keeps the site running independently. No chasing invoices, no Venmo, no cash.
Straight to the crew's Stripe account
The crew member's full rate goes straight to their own Stripe account the moment the card is charged. NeedaCrew never holds it. Stripe pays it out to their bank on its usual schedule. Crew keep 100% of their rate.
The job gets done, both sides confirm
Crew mark the job complete and the producer confirms it. That's what unlocks reviews and the verified credit on the crew member's profile. If anything goes wrong, either side can open a dispute and a real person reviews it.
Paying through payroll instead?
Paying outside NeedaCrew or through your payroll company? Book here, pay people your usual way, and we invoice the 5% monthly.
