Simplify Production Paperwork, From Casting to Wrap
Independent film, TV, commercial, and content productions rely on fast, secure e-signatures to keep cast and crew paperwork moving.
Frictionless for Cast and Crew
Send the talent release the moment someone is booked. Cast, extras, and crew open a link and sign from any device, no account needed, so it works just as well for someone who isn't tech-savvy.
Protect Every Release
Signatures are ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS compliant, personal data is handled under GDPR, documents are encrypted on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure, and every signed PDF carries a SHA-256 fingerprint, so a release stays exactly as it was signed.
Save Hours Every Week
No more chasing releases or dealing with scanned PDFs. Automatic reminders and reusable templates help you close the loop faster.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Plans that scale with your business. No upsells, minimums, or confusing bundles. Just fast, affordable e-signatures that do what you need them to.
Save your releases and deal memos as a template once. Reuse them forever.
Place the signature and date fields on your talent release once and save it as a template. The next production only needs the signers’ emails. Crew deal memos and location agreements work the same way.
Reusable templates are included on Pro and Teams. See how the template workflow works, or compare plans on pricing.
Templates
Upload a PDF to create a template, then send it to one person or bulk send it to many.

“As an animation supervisor working across film and TV in LA, I switched from PandaDoc to Inkly and haven’t looked back. I’m a realist. I just need contracts out the door and signed without the extra admin. Inkly is incredibly easy to use, gives me unlimited sending, real-time notifications and tracking, and automatically follows up so I don’t have to chase anyone. Since switching, my documents get signed faster and a lot more consistently.”
Jaime V.Animation Supervisor, Sony Pictures ImageworksThe paperwork behind a production, from casting to clearance.
Inkly works with the PDFs your production already uses, from an extra’s release to a music licensing agreement.

Co-production or distribution deal with several parties? Send it to several signers.
Send the same release to your whole cast list, one signed copy each.
A feature or a commercial shoot can mean hundreds of releases. With bulk send, you save the release as a template, upload a spreadsheet with one row per person, and Inkly sends every performer, extra, or crew member their own personalized copy.
Bulk send is included on Pro and Teams, with up to 500 signature requests in a batch. Follow the steps in the bulk send guide.
How a talent release gets signed.
Your performer doesn’t install anything or create an account. They open a private link, sign, and you get the completed release back with a full audit trail.
- 1
Upload the release
Start with the talent release you already use, exactly as it is. Inkly keeps your formatting and gets the PDF ready for fields.
- 2
Place fields and add the signers
Mark where the production and the performer each sign and date. For a minor, add a parent or guardian as another signer with their own fields, then send.
- 3
They sign, you keep the record
The performer opens a private link on their phone, no account needed. You’re notified when they sign, and the finished release is filed with its Certificate of Completion.

A performer who hasn’t signed is usually just busy, not reconsidering. Turn on reminders when you send and Inkly follows up, so your production team isn’t chasing signatures. Available on Pro and Teams.
