Corkboard Studio — the connected filmmaking workspace
Write it once. The whole production updates.
From first beat to final delivery.
Your screenplay becomes the breakdown, the strips, the schedule, the call sheet and every department’s plan — including catering, travel and the make-up chair. Nothing gets retyped.
- 40 production tools
- $9–$17.99 a month
- No card to start
Your work stays with you when your plan changes.
One project. Screenplay to release.
Built for crews. Shared production truth.
Made for the work. Web, tablet, and mobile.
The workspace
Everything a production needs, in one project file
Each tool reads the same script and the same schedule. Change a scene once and the breakdown, the strips, the call sheet and the departments all know.

Your work leaves with you
Fountain · PDF · FCPXML · EDL · CSV · ICS · .cbsproj
Vector-text PDFs, an edit list your NLE will open, and a project file you can hand to anyone. Nothing is trapped here.
Every tool, named
Forty tools. One project. No re-entry.
Most production software covers one stage and hands you off. This is the whole board — development through delivery, plus the departments nobody else builds for. Filter it, or read the lot.

A production workspace you can inspect before you join
Move through four real Corkboard surfaces. The same project record connects the writing, planning, equipment, and episodic work shown here.

- Screenplay-aware formatting and pagination
- Scene tags, notes, revisions, and script lock
- Web, tablet, and mobile writing layouts
A production system, not a stack of disconnected forms
Follow the film, not the software

New in this release
The departments every production runs and no one builds for
Catering, travel and the make-up chair are where days actually go wrong. They are now first-class in the workspace, and they read from work you have already done.
Craft Services
Head count comes from the scenes scheduled that day and the crew you have confirmed — not a number you keep in your head.
Dietary tags and allergies live on the person, so they follow them to the next job. The day flags a meal penalty before it costs you one, and nearby places to eat come from OpenStreetMap, no account required.
Travel & Accommodation
Arrivals are checked against that day’s call time, so a flight that lands after the crew is due is a warning, not a phone call at 5am.
Every total writes one reconciling line into the budget, tagged to its department.
Hair & Make-Up
Chair times are worked back from the shooting call and the longest application on the day, so the schedule tells you when the first artist starts.
Reads the same allergy field as catering — latex, adhesives and dye are on the record before anyone opens a kit.
