Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.
Pre-Production
Pull the brief, script, shot list, and moodboard into one pre-production hub so the whole shoot is planned in one place.
Why film students plan in Storyflow.
Film school teaches you the pieces of pre-production, the breakdown, storyboard, shot list, schedule, and call sheet, but the professional tools are often expensive, and it is hard to see how the pieces connect when they live in separate apps.
Storyflow puts the whole workflow on one free infinite canvas. Plan a real production and see the breakdown feed the schedule, the storyboard feed the shot list, and the plan come together in one place, which is the fastest way to actually learn how a shoot is planned.
The AI drafts a starting point so you always have something to react to. Describe your film or paste a script and it lays out the plan, then builds the storyboard, shot list, and schedule, so you learn by refining a real draft rather than staring at a blank template.
It is genuinely free, with no time limit, so you can plan every project across your course without a subscription. Share a view-only link with classmates or a tutor, and collaborate on group projects on the same board.

What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay
YouTuber & Freelance Filmmaker
“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”
