Write & Direct
Pre-production tools for independent film.
Script breakdown, shot lists, storyboards, a stripboard schedule, day out of days and budgets — in one place, built by a filmmaker who needed them.
One chain, script to schedule
01
Import the script
Final Draft or Fade In. Scenes, page eighths and speaking parts come across as they are — including the ones written as dual dialogue, which most tools quietly lose.
02
Break it down
Highlight a phrase to tag a prop, a vehicle, a stunt. Tags belong to the film rather than the draft, so a rewrite doesn't cost you the work.
03
Build shot lists
Setups per scene, with framing, movement and equipment from a closed vocabulary — so the gear list at the end is a count, not a guess.
04
Draw the board
A real stripboard. Colour by INT/EXT and time of day, drag scenes onto days, insert meal breaks and company moves, and print something an AD recognises.
05
Day out of days
Built from the board, in actual calendar days. Holds and idle days are a setting rather than an assumption, because most independent film isn't union and shouldn't be costed as though it were.
06
Budget and invoice
Versioned budgets that keep every draft, and invoices that print as PDFs. Money is counted in whole cents, so a total never disagrees with the lines above it.
Works with no signal
Take a production offline before you leave and the script and shot list are readable at the location. Install it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Your work is yours
Download a whole production as one file, any time. It opens in your browser with no sign-in and no server — so a bad day for this app is never a bad day for your film. Open an archive
