RedShark features RePro CEO Phil Oatley’s article on one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: the disconnect between on-set production, studio decision-makers, and post-production teams.

Drawing on three decades at Netflix, Technicolor, and Park Road Post, Phil argues that while filmmaking has never lacked tools, too many of them were designed for technologists, not storytellers. The result? Delayed feedback, fragmented communication, and creative compromise.

In this Redshark article, he highlights why the next leap forward won’t come from AI alone, but from unifying workflows so that every department — from costume and continuity to editorial and executive producers — can contribute in real time. “The biggest bottleneck isn’t rendering or logistics,” Phil writes. “It’s communication.”

That belief is at the core of RePro Stream: giving filmmakers a single, secure platform to collaborate live, wherever they are in the world.
