By accessing icequakestudios.com, submitting a contact form, booking a production support call, or applying to join our network, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. These terms apply to all visitors, users, clients, and network applicants.

2. Description of Services

IceQuake Studios provides managed production support services in Texas, including but not limited to:

• Second shooter placement (photo and video)
• Lighting technician coordination and deployment
• Gear rental coordination and delivery logistics
• Full production crew staffing (DPs, PAs, grips, gaffers)
• Last-minute crew backup and emergency deployment

Services are initiated via our Production Support Call, booked through our Calendly scheduling system. IceQuake Studios operates a managed creative production support network, providing logistics, crew, and creative production support directly to clients through its vetted Network Partner professionals. Network Partners execute assignments as independent contractors, retaining full professional control over the creative and technical execution of their work. This does not create an employer-employee relationship between IceQuake Studios and any Network Partner.
