Professional film production software

Professional film prep, made simple.

Everything you need to prep and run a production, from script to set.

Start Your Prep

Professional Prep, not AI shortcuts.

Know the script. Know the challenges.

Professional prep means understanding the script yourself. MoviePrepper guides you through every scene so you know the cast, props, wardrobe, locations, equipment and production challenges before the shoot — rather than trusting AI-generated prep and discovering the costly mistakes when the entire crew is on the clock.

“Catch it in prep, not when the crew is on the clock.”

When the schedule changes

One change. Everyone has the latest.

When a scene, cast day, location, schedule or department requirement changes, MoviePrepper updates the connected production information automatically. The stripboard, schedule, department prep, call sheets and related production information all reflect the latest change, so every department is working from the latest schedule.

One production plan

The breakdown, stripboard, schedule, department prep and shoot-day documents use the same production information.

Schedule and departments stay in sync

Scene, cast day and location revisions carry through to the departments and shoot days they affect.

Crews see the latest revisions

Call sheets, sides and department prep reflect the latest schedule and scene requirements.

Stop rebuilding the same change

Make the revision where it belongs instead of repeating it across separate spreadsheets and documents.

Built from Experience

Designed around the way professional productions actually prep.

Shaped by two decades of international film production experience and used on real features and episodic productions.

Questions

Questions from production

What is MoviePrepper?

MoviePrepper is a connected film production workflow for script breakdowns, stripboards, schedules, call sheets, sides, department prep, budgets, actuals, and production reports.

How is MoviePrepper different from separate spreadsheets and PDFs?

Information entered in the breakdown stays with the scene as it moves into the stripboard, shooting schedule, sides, call sheet, and production report.

Can MoviePrepper start a call sheet from the schedule?

Yes. Choose a shoot day and start with its scheduled scenes, cast, crew, locations, call times, and shoot-day details already in place.

Can I use MoviePrepper only for scheduling?

Yes. Use MoviePrepper for the stripboard alone or connect it with breakdowns, budgets, locations, call sheets, sides, and reports.

Is MoviePrepper priced per user?

No. MoviePrepper is priced per production, with no monthly or per-seat charge.

What productions is MoviePrepper best for?

MoviePrepper is built for vertical dramas, indie films, commercials, music videos, documentaries, features, and episodic productions with lean crews.

How does MoviePrepper protect production work?

MoviePrepper uses authenticated access, project-scoped permissions, private production file storage, and short-lived read-only file links to keep work with authorized collaborators. Read about Security & Reliability.

Does MoviePrepper store full payment card numbers?

No. Card checkout is handled through Stripe’s hosted Checkout flow. MoviePrepper receives the transaction details needed to activate a project but does not store full card numbers on its servers.

Who owns the production content added to MoviePrepper?

You retain ownership of the scripts, schedules, budgets, contacts, media, and other production material you upload or create. MoviePrepper also provides downloadable production documents across the workflow.

How does MoviePrepper support service reliability?

MoviePrepper monitors application readiness across the service, database, storage, and required configuration. Request and error telemetry helps identify and diagnose operational problems.
