ContactFrom the script stage to the final cut, Six Degrees helps feature films, TV series, and documentaries identify IP risk, source archival content, and secure the rights needed to bring a project to the screen.
Get a Free ProposalEvery prop, song, and background detail on screen can carry copyright risk. Our team works at every stage of production to catch it early and clear it right. Here's what you can expect:
Before a project is in motion, our team combs through the script to flag copyrighted material, real people's likenesses, and other IP concerns. We’ll provide recommendations and alternatives before we move into permissions and clearances.
As art, wardrobe, and set teams build a project's world, we cross-reference their choices for IP concerns before anything lands on set.
For documentaries especially, we dig into archives to source footage, past performances, and interviews that fill the gaps in a project's story, working directly with studios and rights holders to secure use.
For projects further along in production, we screen the film or series shot-by-shot to catch what still needs licensing before it becomes a legal problem.
We’ve collected a database of rights holders and media managers for several decades, ensuring we’re only six degrees of separation away from finding the right contact for your desired media. While there’s no guarantee in this process, our clearance specialists will leave no stone unturned. We have a proven track record of finding and securing clearances for many elusive rights holders.
