PASS Launches Studio Certification Program

PASS Launches Studio Certification Program

LOS ANGELES — PASS has launched a new studio certification program to help performers better navigate the increasingly complex production landscape.

The program, announced last month during a town hall at XBIZ LA, aims to improve industry communication and coordination by asking certified studios to adhere to clear and consistent standards for safe production.

Aylo and Gamma Films Group have announced their intention to join the program, while PASS has extended an invitation to all studios and production companies, to encourage widespread participation.

To achieve PASS certification, productions must adhere to PASS testing guidelines, comply with production holds, update contact information with PASS, make a good faith effort to attend semiannual meetings and town halls, and participate in orientation sessions about testing guidance, verification and production hold procedures.

Active participants will be listed the PASS website and will be granted permission to use PASS branding to indicate their involvement and certified status.

There is no financial commitment required to participate in the program. 

“The goal of the Studio Certification Program is to improve communication and coordination on matters of health and safety across the industry,” said PASS Executive Director Ian O’Brien. “There is nothing extraordinary about the program requirements themselves. In most cases, we are not asking studios to do much more than most are currently doing. This is about being transparent with expectations and shared commitments: certification makes it clear to the industry what they can expect from PASS and the studios involved.”

An Aylo rep said the company “is heavily invested in the health and well-being of performers. It is crucial to offer safe, accessible testing for performers and a cohesive system for producers. We are proud to support PASS in its efforts to uphold the highest standards for our industry.”

Adult Time Chief Creative Officer Bree Mills said, “Gamma Films Group, which includes the Adult Time platform and our portfolio of studio brands, is committed to supporting a cohesive system for performers and producers that will ensure accessible and affordable testing options and a centralized database we can trust.  It is our collective responsibility as a production community to put measures in place to take care of each other and part of this solution is to support PASS as our industry’s nonprofit organization for health and safety.
