The admin between brief and wrap
You're pitching, shooting and grading, and still chasing deposits and crew invoices at midnight.
The treatment looks flat
Your treatment is the pitch. A static PDF buried in an email thread can't sell the look, the references or the budget behind the work, and it's easy to ignore.
Deposits and milestones live in a spreadsheet
No deposit means you're funding the shoot. And billing pre-pro, shoot and post on time means a spreadsheet you keep forgetting to update.
Usage rights never get signed
Territory, term and usage get agreed over email and never put on paper, until the client reuses the cut and there's nothing to point back to.
Paying the crew is a pile of invoices
DP, gaffer, editor, colorist, sound, half of them overseas. Paying everyone after wrap means stacked invoices, FX fees and slow bank transfers.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
No migration project, no five separate tools. Set it up once and run the whole client relationship from one place.
Build the treatment
Start from a template or let AI draft from your brief, then publish a branded treatment microsite with references, scope, deliverables and budget on one page.
Sign the license, bill the milestones
Turn the yes into a signed usage and licensing agreement, then schedule the deposit and pre-pro / shoot / post invoices so each one goes out the moment you hit it.
Get paid and pay the crew
Clients pay by card, bank or stablecoin. You pay your whole crew, staff and freelancers, at home or overseas, in one batch and reconcile fiat and crypto on one ledger.
