The problem

The script sits in a word processor, the schedule in a spreadsheet, the call sheet goes out as a PDF by email, tasks vanish in chat groups, the budget lives in another spreadsheet and the contracts are on paper. When a scene changes, half the crew finds out too late.Script, schedule, call sheet, tasks, budget and contracts live in six places. When a scene changes, half the crew finds out too late.
