Fifty years powering the stories you love.

In 1976, Bob Draney, a NASA guidance systems engineer, and Jack Peterson, a musician embedded in Hollywood's creative community, built the first automated payroll and accounting system made specifically for film and television. Fifty years later, that same commitment to getting production finance right powers tens of thousands of productions in more than 180 countries, from independent films to series like The Pitt.
