This Philly start-up helps Hollywood studios manage extras, from the sets of ‘Mare of Easttown to ‘King Richard’

▤ Summary

The pandemic battered film studios by suspending productions and shuttering movie theaters. But it provided a boost to RABS as demand increased for digital and “contactless” services. The business previously served one or two productions a month, but by last year as many as 71 movies or shows simultaneously used the app, Weinberg said. His goal is to break 100 in 2022. Customers have included Netflix, Warner Bros., and NBCUniversal, which is owned by Philadelphia-based Comcast, Weinberg said.
