What Filmustage is
Filmustage is a web-based AI pre-production platform for films, series, TV shows, short and vertical dramas, podcasts, and treatments. It brings script breakdown, scheduling, budgeting, analysis, synopsis, sides, call sheets, VFX breakdown, and storyboards into one workflow. Its AI identifies cast, props, locations, VFX, and wardrobe in scripts of any language or format. Script edits can update connected breakdowns, schedules, budgets, and call sheets. Scheduling tools include a stripboard, drag-and-drop calendar, time estimates, location tags, conflict detection, and an AI production agent. The platform builds budget categories from breakdown and schedule data and supports location-based estimates, fringes, and deductions. Teams can share projects, set feature-level access, annotate scripts in shared layers, and use Team Chat. Listed compatibility includes Movie Magic Scheduling, Gorilla, and Final Draft, with PDF, Excel, MMS, and MMB exports. The free plan allows one active project and AI breakdown of 20% of scenes; full AI breakdown projects require an active Director's Cut plan to open. Pricing lists the Free plan at $0.00 per free and Director's Cut at $55.00 per month, billed annually.
