At Reel Freight, we understand that nothing is more critical than getting your production materials where they need to be—on time, intact, and at a competitive rate. Leveraging our extensive freight links all over the globe, we combine decades of entertainment-industry know-how with a truly 24/7 operation. Whether it’s rush footage, specialized equipment, or time-sensitive props, we tailor a logistics plan that keeps your production moving forward smoothly.
Our Core Services
-
Rushes (Dailies & Editorial Footage)
When every frame counts, you need immediate turnaround. Our team prioritises film dailies and editorial tape shipments, ensuring the fastest possible delivery from set to post-production houses, both domestically and internationally. Whether you’re shooting in the Outback or on location overseas, we guarantee real-time tracking, secure handling, and next-level responsiveness. -
Same-Day Courier Services to Los Angeles
We know how vital Los Angeles is for post-production, colour grading, VFX and more. That’s why our same-day courier option to LA is designed to dispatch from Australia within hours—so your hard drives, film cans, or specialized camera modules arrive in Hollywood by the end of the day. With dedicated vehicles, priority customs clearance, and direct airport hand-offs, you can leave the logistics to us and focus on creative decisions. -
International Courier
Wherever your shoot is happening, from Mumbai to Vancouver, our global courier network ensures door-to-door service with full visibility. We handle everything from pickup to customs, bundling air, sea, and ground services into a single seamless solution. You’ll benefit from the confidence that comes from working with a freight partner who speaks your language. -
Next-Flight Services (Australia-Wide)
Last-minute changes happen. When they do, our next-flight option lets you send critical cast bios, props, or production documents on the very next available flight, no waiting for standard schedules. We coordinate directly with airlines, expedite documentation, and provide a single point of contact, so you can rest assured that your urgent shipments arrive exactly when and where you need them. -
Overnight Economy Services
Not every shipment demands a charter. Our overnight economy service offers a cost-effective way to move smaller items (hard drives, wardrobe samples, scripts) by the next business morning. Enjoy comprehensive tracking, insurance cover, and integrated door delivery, perfect for productions that need reliability but also want to manage their budget. -
Road Freight (Australia-Wide)
From Sydney to Perth (and everywhere in between), our road-freight fleet operates 24/7, and strict chain-of-custody protocols. Whether you’re relocating equipment between studios or sending finished sets to a remote location, our drivers are trained in film-industry handling and adhere to the tightest safety standards. -
Customs Clearance
Navigating customs in multiple countries can be a project in itself. Our in-house customs brokers specialize in entertainment-industry shipments, ensuring that provenance paperwork, Carnets, film-stock exemptions, and temporary-import clauses are handled (and approved) well before your shipment even takes off. The result is minimal hold-ups, predictable costs, and zero surprises at the border. -
Logistics & Travel Solutions
Beyond freight, we offer end-to-end logistics planning everything from crew travel coordination and visa facilitation to equipment hire drop-offs. Think of us as an extension of your production team: we map out itineraries, book ground transport, secure insurance, and even arrange last-mile delivery for fragile set pieces. By synchronising every element, we help keep your schedule and budget on track.
