A Sreenwriter's Tool

👋Hi, I'm Dmitry, the project owner.
🛠️If you want to contribute to this project
📬 please reach out to me in LinkedIn. 😊

Currently, participating london hack @ eurasian hub.
This project started on the LPB25 hackathon.

The priority of this project is to avoid script content generation at all costs.

The Goal

To give screenwriters and film directors a productivity tool that optimizes routine operations and reduces communication overhead — similar to what modern IDE and GitHub tools do for software development.

Demo

Key Ideas

A movie script is a well-structured text that:

  1. have to comply with de-facto standards (e.g. Hollywood standard)
  2. is used as a single source of truth to organise pre-production works (e.g. casting)

With a power of AI (LLM) a lot of routine operations with text can be done automatically. Especially this requires a full script text analysis or cross-checking (e.g. give me a list of film characters).

Lots of pre-production works:

are directly based on a script, and their content and communication can be streamlined by providing an accurate perspective (slice) of a script with an emphasis on e certain aspect.

This, of course, works in depth: pre-production-dependencies.png

And potentially can be arranged with a support of a bidirectional feedback: script-feedback-and-iterations.png

where:

  1. changes made in a draft-# version of a script will automatically propagate (by email or push notification) to people working on derivatives (e.g. costumes)
  2. if some ideas appear on later stage ( e.g. costume) it shall be possible to navigate back to the script and consistently incorporate it

Target Audience and Profitability Considerations

This tool aims as a primary collaboration platform for all cust and crew members, not limited to a persona of a screenwriter. That is a lot of people, with a paid subscription per seat.

Subscription might be free for screenwriters themselves, to attract them into the product.

In addition, the tool can also be used in game development, which is an additional market.

Contribution Guide

To contribute, please submit PR.

The project is in the research phase.

It is advised to create a separate folder for your code to avoid merge conflicts.
