Film production planning,
from the script to the call sheet.

Seven parts: the script, a breakdown of what every scene needs, a shot list, a shooting schedule grouped into days, locations with access notes, cast and crew with availability, and a call sheet for each shoot day. A budget and a list of permits and releases sit alongside. On a Storyflow board all of them live on one canvas, so each is checked against the others.

For planning, yes: Storyflow holds development, pre-production and the shoot days on one board, from treatment to call sheet PDF. Post-production is different work. You will edit in Premiere, Resolve or Avid and review cuts in a tool like Frame.io, which gives timecoded comments on the footage. Most productions pair one planning board with one review tool rather than looking for a single app.

Yes. Storyflow's film plan workflow lays out a production board from your script (overview, research, the plan, field operations, assets, distribution), and the script breakdown, shot list and strip board workflows add those documents beside it, filled in rather than left blank. You can also duplicate a finished production board and start the next film from your own proven structure.

Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only during early access, with plans from $7.99 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly). A free plan launches before the end of 2026, and anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free, so the AD and DP add nothing. Cast and crew viewing a link never need an account.

It drafts the documents that are slow to type: a breakdown with page-eighth estimates, a shot list per scene, a stripboard grouping scenes into days, character sheets, a budget, and a call sheet PDF per day. It reads the open board, so you can also ask what is missing. Edits land on the board with one-click Undo; the scheduling calls stay yours.

Yes. Export the screenplay from Final Draft, WriterDuet or Fade In as a PDF or plain text and attach it to the board, or paste the text into the AI chat. The AI plans from the script itself, not the file format. Storyflow is not a screenplay editor, so keep writing in the tool you use and re-attach the new draft when pages change.

A breakdown goes through the script scene by scene and lists everything each scene requires: cast, location, props, wardrobe, vehicles, effects and special needs. You need one before you schedule or budget, because a schedule is built from what scenes demand, not how long they read. Even on a no-budget short it surfaces the missing prop and the location that needs permission.

In four passes. Lock the idea: logline and tone. Develop the story into a treatment or outline. Break it down into scenes, locations, cast, props and shots. Then schedule against real constraints, which for most productions means location access and cast availability. Keep all four passes on one board so a change in the breakdown is visible against the treatment.

For a short film, four to six weeks once cast and locations are involved; for a feature, months. Pre-production is finished when a shoot day can happen without anyone asking a question the plan should have answered. Locations, permits and cast availability reliably take longest, so start them first and let the shot list keep refining around them.

Yes. Invited collaborators edit the same board in real time on any paid plan and join free, with admin, edit or view access. Everyone else gets a view-only link that opens with no account and shows the latest version when they open or reload it. Signing in lets them comment on a specific scene or shot.

Screenwriting in industry format, editing, timecoded review of cuts, sending call sheets and collecting crew confirmations, payroll and accounting. Dates live in tables and tickets, not a calendar. Storyflow is also newer than StudioBinder or Notion, with a smaller template library. It is the planning layer from script to shoot day.
