Software for the people who make the thing.
This started on a shoot, not in a boardroom. I run a small film studio in Cornwall. Every production began the same way: references scattered across a downloads folder, storyboards in a tool that felt like accounting software, and client approvals lost somewhere in an email chain called "RE: RE: RE: v3_FINAL".
The tools we loved, the edit suites, the cameras, felt like they were built by people who'd been on set. The pre-production tools didn't. So we built the thing we wanted:dark like an edit suite, fast like it respects your time, and beautiful enough to put your name on, because the review page and the PDF carry your studio's name, not ours.
It's a small company on purpose. No growth team, no dark patterns, no feature held hostage on a higher tier. Just the pipeline a film actually follows, moodboard, script, board, approval, made good enough that clients say yes faster.
