Built by filmmakers, for filmmakers

Every line of Lumen was written by people who've stood in the rain at 5am waiting for first light. We built the tool we wished we'd had on every production.

Every production starts the same way: someone reads a script, opens a spreadsheet, and spends weeks building what the story already told them.

What Lumen Does

One script in. Full production out.

Intelligent Script Parsing

Upload a PDF or paste your screenplay. Lumen identifies every scene heading, character cue, dialogue block, and action line automatically.

Automated Breakdowns

Cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, stunts, SFX, and production design notes extracted per scene. The breakdown that used to take a week happens before your coffee gets cold.

Smart Scheduling

Scenes grouped by location, clustered by day or night, distributed across shooting days based on page count and complexity. Lumen recalculates when you change anything.

Auto Call Sheets

Call sheets generate themselves from your schedule. Crew call times, locations, scene order, weather, and special requirements. Sent via SMS and email the night before.

Crew Coordination

Add your crew and cast. Everyone sees their department tasks, daily schedule, and can ask Iris anything about the production. No more out-of-date group chats.

Iris: Your Intelligent Producer

Iris knows the script, the schedule, and the crew. Ask her about call times, budget implications, the hardest scene to shoot, or what the weather looks like on Day 3.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero busywork.

1
STEP 1

Drop your script

Upload a PDF, paste text, or drag in a Fountain file. Lumen accepts standard screenplay format. Your script never leaves your browser during parsing.

PDF, TXT, Fountain, Final Draft export

STEP 2

Lumen reads every page

Scene headings, character arcs, emotional weight, props, wardrobe, vehicles, stunts, SFX, locations. The Qualia Engine scores each scene for complexity and intensity.

Under 30 seconds for a feature

STEP 3

Your production materializes

Stripboard schedule, scene breakdowns, department tasks, call sheets, wardrobe lists, prop sourcing, location permits, and legal documents. All populated. Ready to shoot.
