Document storage for film and production

Production files kept safe long after the wrap.

Q: Where can an Irish production company store production paperwork?

With us, from a single box upward. Files are collected the next working day, barcoded, and stored on certified shelves in a security-controlled Dublin warehouse, with any box or file back on request.

Q: Can Cyclone Archive collect from a production office at wrap?

Yes, boxes go out flat packed ahead of the date so the office can pack down while the crew is still there, and the collection is planned around the day the space has to be handed back.

Q: Can a production company store paperwork between productions and retrieve it later?

Yes. Storage runs for as long as you want it, and a box or a single file comes back the next working day whenever a question comes up. Nothing needs a corner of the next office to live in.

Q: Can I retrieve a single release or clearance from storage?

Yes. The file is pulled and barcoded on the way out, travels in a secure bag, and is re-filed into the box it came from when you send it back. Retrievals arrive the next working day as standard.

Q: Does Cyclone Archive keep unreleased production material confidential?

Yes. Everything is handled by security-screened staff under barcode control, held behind swipe-card access with intruder alarms and CCTV. When a box is catalogued, only the name on the outside of each folder is captured, and the contents stay closed.

Q: Can Cyclone Archive shred production files when a production is finished?

Yes. Scripts, schedules and cast paperwork are shredded on your instruction, on site under CCTV or at a licensed facility, and a certificate of destruction recording the date, method and quantity is issued on completion.

Contracts, releases, clearances, call sheets and budgets: collected when the production office closes, stored on secure certified shelves in Dublin, and pulled back a file at a time when a rights question comes up two productions later.

What a production leaves

Clearances outlive the shoot

A production office is temporary by design. It opens for a job, fills with contracts, releases, clearances, cue sheets, call sheets and budgets, and closes at the wrap. The paperwork has to survive it, because a distribution question, a rights query or a residual can come years later and the answer is in a box somebody put in a car boot.

Cyclone Archive takes the office as it closes: collected the next working day, barcoded, and kept together as one set of boxes on the shelf. When the question comes, you ask for that one file and it is with you the next working day.

The process

How it works at wrap

Tell us how many boxes and we plan the collection around the date the office closes.

STEP 01

Tell us how many boxes

Type the number or say it over the phone. Boxes go out flat packed ahead of the date, so the office can be packed down while the last of the crew is still there.

STEP 02

Collected and kept as a production

Call before 12 and we collect the next working day, Monday to Friday. Every box has its own barcode, so a production stays identifiable for as long as you hold it.

STEP 03

One file back, between projects

Ask for a single release, contract or clearance and it is pulled, barcoded out and with you the next working day, then re-filed into the box it came from when you send it back.

Services

One account across every production

Storage, retrieval, scanning, cataloguing and confidential destruction, bought with one call.

Document Storage

Each production collected, barcoded and stored on certified shelves, with any box or file returned the next working day, so nothing needs a corner of the next office to live in.

Start with storage and add retrieval, scanning, cataloguing or confidential destruction whenever a production needs them.

Cataloguing & Indexing

Every folder inside every box listed against its barcode, so you can find a box by title, department or contract without opening a lid.

Explore cataloguing →

Scanning & Digitisation

Releases and clearances turned into searchable pages a distributor, a lawyer or a producer can read from anywhere, for the paperwork that travels with a title.

Explore scanning →

Confidential Shredding

Scripts, schedules and cast paperwork destroyed confidentially when you say they are finished with, and a certificate of destruction issued as proof.

Explore shredding →

Archive Boxes

Double-walled boxes delivered flat packed across Ireland, so a production office can pack down in the last week rather than the last day.

What a practice needs to be sure of

Facility security

Your boxes are held in a security-controlled Dublin warehouse protected by intruder and fire alarms and CCTV, under swipe-card access.

Confidentiality

Security-screened staff, EN 15713 certification from first collection to final shredding, and files returned in secure bags.

Traceability

Barcode tracking follows every box from your office to its exact shelf position, with a movement history for every box and every file that leaves one.
