Script breakdown. Real-time budgets. Call sheets. Client review. All connected, all automated — for less than you pay for Frame.io alone.
Instant AI breakdown · No credit card · then from $25/mo
The average indie film production runs on StudioBinder + Filmustage + Frame.io + Google Docs + Slack. That's five logins, five bills, and five places for things to fall through the cracks. Kinograph is the one platform that handles the entire workflow — built by a filmmaker who got tired of the tab-switching tax.
Upload your script and get a full production breakdown in minutes — cast, props, locations, VFX, safety notes. Then keep going: Kinograph uses that breakdown to build your schedule, budget, and call sheets automatically.
Filmustage stops at breakdown. We start there.Live budget dashboard that updates as you spend. AI flags overages before they happen and suggests reallocation based on remaining shoot days. No more discovering you're over budget at wrap.
StudioBinder and Filmustage both struggle here. We built it right.Time-coded feedback on a single page. Client approvals automatically update your production timeline. Reshoots get scheduled, call sheets get regenerated, crew gets notified — all from one click.
Frame.io does feedback. We close the loop.Auto-generated call sheets with crew contacts, maps, parking, and weather. When schedule changes mid-shoot — and it will — Kinograph regenerates everything and notifies your crew instantly.
Nobody else handles on-set changes in real time.Replace five subscriptions with one.

"Built for indie filmmakers by indie filmmakers — not enterprise project managers."
I was paying $127/month across four tools. Three of those tools didn't talk to each other. I built Kinograph to fix that — one platform that handles the business of filmmaking so you can stay behind the camera.
I submitted to three festivals last year on a $28k budget. Every dollar mattered. The biggest waste was software I was barely using. One platform for the whole workflow isn't just convenient — it's the difference between finishing and not finishing.
Film school teaches you how to tell stories. It does not teach you to juggle five subscription tools on a student budget. I needed something that did everything without requiring a production company budget to afford it.
