This Philly start-up helps Hollywood studios manage extras, from the sets of ‘Mare of Easttown to ‘King Richard’

The company’s application has been used on roughly 250 movies and shows, including by studios producing 'Mare of Easttown,' 'King Richard,' and 'Succession.'

Josh Weinberg, 28, of Wynnewood, Pa., CEO of RABS (Run a Better Set), poses for a portrait at the Fitler Club in Philadelphia, Pa., on Thursday, Dec., 23, 2021. Weinberg’s business started back in March of 2018, where he provides studios that make movies and shows with an application that helps manage and onboard extras. “I imagined a solution and set out to built it,” Weinberg said. “I was a production assistant on a show and I had the idea and I saw the inefficiency.”
