PASS Launches Studio Certification Program; Aylo, Gamma On Board |
LOS ANGELES, Calif. â Performer Availability Screening Service (PASS) has announced the launch of a new Studio Certification Program designed to âhelp performers better navigate the increasingly complex production landscape,â PASS said. The new certification program âaims to improve industry communication and coordination by asking certified studios to adhere to clear and consistent standards for safe production,â PASS explained, noting that major adult companies Aylo and Gamma Films Group âimmediately announced their intention to participate in the program.â PASS explained that to be PASS Certified, each production will need to agree to the following commitments: Active participants will be listed on PASS’s website and will be granted permission to use PASS branding to indicate their involvement. There is no financial commitment to participate in the program. âThe goal of the Studio Certification Program is to improve communication and coordination on matters of health and safety across the industry,â said PASS Executive Director, Ian O’Brien. âThere 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.â With Aylo and Gamma Films participating, PASS noted the initiative already has the support of two of the industryâs largest producers. âGamma 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,â said Bree Mills, Chief Creative Officer of Gammaâs Adult Time platform. âIt 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 non-profit organization for health and safety.â âAylo is heavily invested in the health and well-being of performers,â said an Aylo rep in the announcement. âIt 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.â For more information about the certification program, visit the PASS website. PASS invites all studios and production companies to participate in the program. Interested parties should send an email to ian@passcertified.org. |
