Filmustage Reviews 

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. It picks up quite a lot (currently a little over zealous) but the team at FilmUStage have assured me that as the software progresses they will rectify any issues - it's a process - hence the 5 star review.

Sub categorising everything into summary sheets means I can quickly run through the script, change what's not quite correct and what is key is that the software saves every change instantly and applies it the whole script/project/summary. So reducing human error and possibly embarrassing oversight in my budget.

Feasibly, I can also share my comprehensive break down with crew like production designers/prop masters-buyers/costume designers etc. They can make changes and we can share it all through the same program in real time.

As an example, I broke down and prelim budgeted a 90 page £2m script in approx 48-36 hours. Where as before the break down alone may take me that time (and may not be 100%). And leave me defeated.

I ingested the script and in about 1 minute the software had broken down everything. I then took it upon myself to just go through scene by scene (old skool) to eye ball correct certain things. About 75% was perfect though.

No more highlighter pens. No more using multiple spreadsheets and updating long lists manually.

I haven't used the scheduling function at length, but on first use it's impressive as it slots days/actors etc. into place with locations. As one would expect.

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.

The software works like magic! I was looking for a product that could help me to work with the scripts and manage the whole process. Before I was using spreadsheets and that was time consuming.
The cool thing is I just upload a script and it automatically breaks it down to the scenes, characters, locations.
It helped our team to save around 20 hours, amazing product!

I just recently had an issue ( on my end) with a promotion and Ivan helped me sort everything out. Not only is this company beneficial to the creative process but the customer service is amazing. Thank you to everyone at the company for helping creatives pursue our passion. Cheers to you all !!

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.

Great support! Helped me a lot! This is a good product and I am sure will get even better over time.

As a all around Producer, it's been hard to find a software that can get me to a Script breakdown as fast and efficient as Filmustage..It's made Pre-production a breeze.

Fantastic Production Software & Support! I started my first project in Filmustage yesterday & within minutes I had a Breakdown & an editable Stripboards schedule. Wow! The AI Breakdown saved me at least a full day of tedious manual labor. That's amazing when you need to move fast! Ivan provided almost instantaneous support then we hopped on a video conference call & Ivan demonstrated the amazing functionality of this software, with new features constantly being updated. Highly recommend!!!

When I contacted film u stage with a few questions, I expected a reply, which I received promptly, but not from one of the program creators. This man Ivan was so helpful and patient in not only answering my questions but demonstrating the correct usage of the program. I will be forever indebted to him for the clarification of my problem. Ivan treated me like a long lost friend and not like a nameless or faceless customer. Thank you. I wish you nothing but success. And I will recommend this program to every film maker I know.

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.

Great tool for organizing your preproduction project. Awesome customer service and support!

This was my first time using this sort of software, and it was invaluable to my production.

Filmustage is a wonderful way to breakdown your script. It's very easy to use and has a great team behind it too!

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.

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.

I've used filmustage for two of my projects and it worked perfectly. These guys don't lie saying it would break down any script in 1 minute! Highly recommend trying ;)
