#film scheduling Startups & Tools

Production crews have long faced a fragmentation problem: managing a film shoot requires coordinating scripts, schedules, assets, and people across multiple disconnected tools. Film Logic addresses this by consolidating the entire production workflow from screenplay through set operations into a single application designed by someone who spent fifteen years directing for major studios and streamers. The core proposition is straightforward but ambitious. Instead of toggling between spreadsheets, messaging apps, and specialized tools, producers, assistant directors, department heads, and on-set crews operate within one environment. The founder built this after experiencing the frustration firsthand on independent productions where budget constraints made it untenable to license multiple systems, and where coordination failures could derail entire days. What distinguishes Film Logic is its specific orientation toward on-set realities. The design prioritizes mobile-first access, recognizing that the people executing production decisions often work from phones and tablets on location. The Asset Library exemplifies this thinking: departments upload materials directly from set, tag them by scene, track versions with approvals, and run continuity checks without ever opening a separate application. This consolidation extends to the command center for assistant directors, which broadcasts real-time status—current scene, next setup, time-to-wrap, setup and shoot timers—to every phone simultaneously. The platform handles automation that typically demands manual coordination. Call sheets generate automatically from stripboard scheduling, and the system flags production conflicts before they occur: missing durations, unconfirmed cast, locations without addresses. These issues surface with suggested fixes that link directly to the relevant fields, eliminating the hunting-and-clicking that consumes production days. Screenplay management is built in, not bolted on. The editor imports screenplays with automatic scene parsing, supports live collaborative writing with revision colors and notes, and exports in industry-standard format. This matters because the script is the source of truth for everything that follows—stripboards, call sheets, asset organization, and crew communication all flow from it. The business model reflects accessibility. At nineteen dollars ninety-nine per month with unlimited collaborators and no credit card required for a thirty-day trial, Film Logic positions itself as an alternative to either sprawling enterprise systems or the death-by-a-thousand-subscriptions approach most productions currently endure. The pricing suggests confidence that the consolidation delivers genuine value rather than merely aggregating existing tools.
