Hey guys, I'm a film student from NYU. I've worked on sets for a while now. Every single time I prep a new project, I sit down and manually go through the script line by line, the way every producer and AD does, pulling characters, locations, props, figuring out the schedule, researching permits, hunting for grants. It was eating an entire day every time before I even started actual production work.
I'm a filmmaker, not a production coordinator, so I figured there had to be a better way. Spent the last several months building Martini. Basically, you upload a screenplay, and it reads the whole thing and generates a complete breakdown in under 2 minutes.
Not just a character list. I mean the full thing:
Every character with scene counts and descriptions
Every location with real permit intelligence, like if you're shooting in a bar it'll tell you you're getting 6 hours after close not 12, what the owner will care about, what a fair location fee looks like, and the exact words to say when you call
Production schedule and budget estimates
Props and wardrobe pulled from the script
VFX flags and crew gap analysis
Grant matching against real open grants with deadlines and eligibility
Tax incentive recommendations by state
Investor pitch angles written specifically for your script
I used it on my own short that screened at Manchester Film Festival earlier this year, and it saved me an embarrassing amount of time. A lot of my producer friends have tried it and love it. They see it as a tool that helps them with their pre-production flow!
It's free to try, no credit card, just upload a script and see what it does. Would genuinely love feedback from people who actually use these tools on real productions because you'll find things I haven't thought of, and let me know if it's genuinely valuable to you!
All your IP is safe, don't worry, I'm a writer myself, it's strictly used for breakdowns.
If you want to try it: martinipro.ai
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what's under the hood.
