The Problem

Producers spend months and thousands on feasibility — before a single frame is shot.

The old model: hire a line producer to read your script, fly to three cities, build a budget in a spreadsheet, present to financiers — only to find out your locations don't work, your tax incentives are wrong, or your budget is off by $2 million.

PreFlight replaces that process with structured, producer-grade analysis. Your script, your project parameters, and 25 years of production expertise — encoded into every report.

You keep your personal time for what machines can't replicate: the creative calls, the financier conversations, the final decisions.

What producers are saying.

We were about to sign a Letter of Intent for a shoot in Budapest when PreFlight flagged the incentive cliff — we'd have lost $1.2M in tax credits mid-production. The report paid for itself in one afternoon.

Finally a tool that speaks producer. I showed my financier the PreFlight report and we closed the round in three weeks. The location scorecard alone was worth the price of admission.

I used to spend $8,000 on a line producer feasibility before a single day of shooting. PreFlight gives me the same data in an hour for a fraction of the cost. It's not a replacement — it's better.
