WHAT WE DO
Services
Crux Entertainment provides end-to-end archival, clearance, and legal services for film, television, commercial, and digital content. All services are available individually or as a full-wrap engagement.
01
Archival Research & Licensing
Comprehensive sourcing, vetting, and licensing of historical footage, photographs, music, documents, and other archival materials across all genres and subject areas. Crux maintains relationships with major footage houses, news archives, music publishers, estates, and private collections — with the experience to find material others can't, and the clearance knowledge to license it right the first time.
Deliverables include: archival research, footage sourcing, licensing negotiations, sync and master clearances, stills clearances, and archive-to-delivery management.
02
Rights & Clearances
Full clearance production services from pre-production through final delivery. Crux manages all rights and clearance workflows to produce E&O-ready packages that meet network, studio, and distributor requirements — on time and without costly holdbacks.
Deliverables include: talent and interview releases, location agreements, music clearances, life rights, name and likeness clearances, trademark and brand clearances, clearance logs, and E&O documentation packages.
03
Legal Services
Crux partners directly with an entertainment attorney to provide integrated legal services alongside clearance — so productions get attorney-reviewed clearance opinions, contract support, and legal wrap under a single engagement.
Services include: legal review and opinion letters, contract drafting and negotiation, chain-of-title review, fair use analysis, defamation review, and full legal wrap for delivery.
