“ Stop doing your breakdown the old way. If Elon Musk were a 1st AD or a film director he'd be using Filmustage. It's smart and intuitive and just saved me days of work which means it saved my money on my budget. Love it!“
Joseph Granda / Producer, Director, Writer
“ I have been doing schedules in Movie Magic fro 30 odd years - and can honestly say the Filmustage has transformed the process - the time saving is just extra-ordinary.“
Steve Clark-Hall / Producer, Director, Writer
“ You have to be experienced to break the rules. It’s like architecture; if you’ve got a grounding in the basis, then you can break the rules. So, what Filmustage has done there is broke some rules now because it was actually needed in the marketplace. And I will encourage filmmakers to do this because you need this knowledge“
Roger Christian / Director, Writer, Art Department
“ As a film and TV Line Producer this site / app is a game changer. What would normally take days of work is now done in minutes. Great customer care too.“
John Norton / Producer, Director, Casting Department
“ No more highlighter pens. No more spreadsheets and long lists. It's a brave new world and Filmustage are looking to the future with their AI/intuitive software. As a Line Producer/Production Manager the most laborious phase of budgeting is the break down - it's not only long but one can lose concentration and miss things. But the breakdown that Filmustage provides is so smart and time saving. Nothing is perfect, but it sure beats off line programs like clunky Movie Magic and this feels like the future of film production for LP's and Producers.“
Sean Scott Griffin / Producer, Production Manager
“ I tried Filmustage and found it very impressive. I don’t know how they do it and I don’t need to know. Getting an automatic and almost instant breakdown is very valuable for a producer. There is less guesswork involved when you can have an instant overview of how many locations a particular script needs and how many scenes each actor has. A report like this will help me get an overview without hiring someone for 1 or 2 days to do a breakdown.“
Jon Gustafsson / Director, Producer
“ Breaking down and creating a shooting schedule for my script takes a lot of manual input time. I was looking for a software package to help me with my own project and came across Filmustage. The AI engine intrigued me, and I was blown away at how fast, intuitive, and easy it was to work with. Filmustage analyzes what is in my script and applies that data into the proper departments for me. After that, I work the schedule, move the scene strips into the order I need them to be in, and place notes for additional equipment or items in general. This software is truly designed and built for modern filmmaking, making it exciting, helpful, and easy to use.“
Mark Kolpak / Director, Visual Effects Supervisor
“ The team behind Filmustage are exceptionally dedicated to making their product as user friendly and powerful as possible. I've been using Filmustage for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. As a director of photography this platform is now a tool that I use almost daily, and it keeps getting better. I can't fault them.“
Callan Green / Director Of Photography
“ Fantastic production software and support! I started my first project on Filmustage and within minutes, I had a breakdown and an editable stripboard schedule. The AI breakdown feature saved me at least a full day of tedious manual labor. That's amazing when you need to move fast! The Filmustage team provided almost instantaneous support, and we hopped on a video conference call where they demonstrated the amazing functionality of the software. With new features constantly being updated, I highly recommend Filmustage!“
Andrew Giannetta / Producer, Director of Photography
“ Filmustage is a very promising program. I prefer the scheduling strip board to Gorilla or Studobinder. The breakdown part of the app is jaw-droppingly wonderful.“
Catherine Craig / Director, Producer, VFX
“ I was skeptical at first until I decided to try Filmustage. I am seriously impressed with the results and I thought to share this with my colleagues. That the script is finished this amazing software will do the breakdown, which I already have for my new "A Cannibal Mind" movie, that has won "Best Feature Script" and "Best Original Story" AWARD OF EXCELLENCE, and it’s excellent. So, Filmustage does cut down on costs and time considerably.“
Martin Manuel Nuza / Executive Producer
“ Using machine learning to automatically breakdown a screenplay has the potential to benefit literally every production made in the future. Currently all scripts are broken down manually, which is a process that can take six to eight hours, depending on the complexity of the script. Automating this process, as Filmustage does, could save countless hours of work and conceivably prevent errors.“
Michael Williams / Producer, Line Producer, UPM
“ Filmustage is a must for serious filmmakers who want to properly present their script breakdown to all crew members in a simple, fast and efficient way so that everyone is on the same page! Worth the price, because it also will save you a whole lot of money as well as time.“
Joseph Strickland / Director, Producer
“ Filmustage is a noble effort to bring artificial intelligence to a process that has depended on human intelligence since the beginning of film...the breaking down of a script into individual production elements for budgeting and scheduling purposes. It does an admirable job. It can get you 70-80% of the way there within minutes of uploading a script. It is not without its limitations. But, I will say the developers are extremely responsive and listen to their users and try to make adjustments quickly. It is a developing product and I wish them much success. It keeps getting better and better. I've enjoyed using it.“
JK Presnal / Line Producer
“ I'm taking a look at Filmustage and I think it's fantastic! I like how it breaks down the script well and seems easy to use. I can see the hard work that went into this and I think you all did an incredible job. You are off to a great start.“
Collin O'Brien / Director, Writer, 1st AD
“ Film and television productions in West Africa are in huge demand. Filmustage has enabled us to efficiently plan, schedule and organize our projects. It is a game- changer“
Pascal Aka / Director, Producer
“ These folks are awesome! And their script breakdown program is awesome as well!“
Allyson Erick / Producer
“ Good product. Great response on customer support.“
