WHO WE ARE
ZB Pictures is a global network of local crew and vendors that serves the film and video production industry. Find and hire anything you need, whether it’s a cameraman for one day, a video editor for one month or a full-time producer. Since launching in 2022, we’ve grown beyond a simple directory into the most trusted resource for finding qualified and experienced crew, vendors and employees. We’re your film and video production partner.
Our founder, Zubin Wadia and Baani Wadia, ZB PICTURES as an answer to two issues that plagued his production company. Finding reliable and qualified crew wasted valuable hours that could be spent on the creative details, and it cost an exorbitant amount of money to advertise locally so it was nearly impossible to grow in other markets. ZB PICTURES solves those problems by providing an all-encompassing network of experienced crew and vendors for hire and a unified resource for industry professionals to market their services at affordable rates.
WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
ZB PICTURES is not a production company. We are also not a traditional crewing company or an agency. We are so much more than that. We combine the services from each to match your creative needs, style, budget and location with the perfect crew and vendors worldwide.
Film and video production is in our DNA. With our years of experience, production know-how and a meticulous verification process, it’s no surprise that we’re known as the industry’s most trusted tool. Our team is made of people that have worked in the industry, from large production companies, like the Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros and NFL Films, to creative agencies and feature film productions. Everyone at ZB PICTURES understands what it’s like to be in your position, so we can anticipate and accommodate your needs and provide practical solutions. Unlike many other companies, you will actually speak to a human when you call us.
Our online directory provides you with comprehensive, thoroughly researched and frequently updated information for over 9,000 production service companies, film commissions, studios, film laboratories, location finders/scouts, location manager, equipment rental and film-friendly locations from all around the world. Each company displays full contact details, trading history and recent productions to help you, the filmmaker, decide which companies are most suited to your production needs. We have introduced a new section called Film Friendly Locations. It is a unique platform for owners of locations worldwide to promote their locations to our community of film and TV production professionals. Through our unique resource location managers, scouts and producers can find ready-to-shoot Film Friendly Locations.
