StudioBinder
What it is
StudioBinder is a web-based production management solution for studios, production companies, brands, and marketing agencies. It covers work from scripting through production, with writing tools for industry-format screenplays, two-column AV scripts, and documents. Teams can break down scripts, build shooting schedules, create script sides, and generate production reports. Customizable mood boards, shot lists, and storyboards support visual planning. Contacts, production calendars, task boards, and a shared media library organize collaboration. Call sheets can be filled with weather, location, cast, and nearest-hospital details, then sent by email or text with delivery tracking. Listed integrations include Fountain, Google Maps, Final Draft, PDF, CSV, and Slack. Project data and files are encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in the US on AWS, according to StudioBinder. Projects are private by default, with view, comment, and edit permissions that can be revoked. A free plan is available, alongside Starter, Indie, and Professional plans.
