Plan your next film,
not your next spreadsheet
CinePlan gives indie filmmakers a dedicated production scheduling tool for script breakdowns, shooting schedules, call sheets, and crew coordination. 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
Traditional production tools can be priced and packaged for bigger teams. As an indie filmmaker, your planning software should not compete with your catering budget.
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
Build detailed shot lists with camera specs, then arrange storyboard frames to plan every angle before you step on set. Drag-and-drop scenes across shooting days and export to Google Calendar or Outlook.
Professional Call Sheets

Day-Out-of-Days Report
Instantly see which days each cast member works, starts, or holds with an industry-standard DOOD report generated automatically.
