Built for Filmmakers

Plan your next film,
not your next spreadsheet

CinePlan gives indie filmmakers a dedicated production scheduling tool — break down scripts, build shooting schedules, generate call sheets, and coordinate your crew. All powered by AI, starting free.

Sound familiar?

Indie filmmakers shouldn't need a line producer's budget to plan a shoot.

Spreadsheet chaos

You're managing your shooting schedule in Google Sheets, your call sheets in Docs, and your shot list in a notebook. Nothing connects.

Pro tools, pro prices

StudioBinder starts at $42/mo. Filmustage at $66/mo. You're an indie filmmaker — your entire catering budget might be $66.

Manual script breakdowns

Going through your screenplay page by page, highlighting scenes, extracting locations, cast, and props by hand. It takes hours.

Last-minute schedule changes

Your location fell through. Now you need to restructure three days of shooting and notify your entire cast and crew.

How CinePlan helps filmmakers

Every feature is built for the way indie filmmakers actually work.

AI Script Breakdown

Upload your screenplay PDF and let AI extract scenes, locations, cast, and props automatically. Minutes, not hours.

Visual Schedule Builder

Drag-and-drop your scenes across shooting days. Export to Google Calendar or Outlook so your whole crew stays synced.

Professional Call Sheets

Generate print-ready call sheets for each shooting day with crew call times, location details, and scene breakdowns.

Day-Out-of-Days Report

Instantly see which days each cast member works, starts, or holds — the industry-standard DOOD report, generated automatically.

Weather Integration

See weather forecasts for each shooting day right on your schedule. Plan outdoor scenes around conditions before they become a problem.

Short Film Template

Start from a pre-built 3-day short film template with labeled days, activity types, and realistic schedules. Customize from there.

CinePlan replaced three different tools I was juggling for my last short film. The AI scheduling alone saved me a full day of pre-production.
