Everything in one place
Films, materials and fees live on the same entry.
Submissions management
Make submissions easier to manage from day one.
Categories, deadlines and fees stay organized in one inbox — not another spreadsheet.
The inbox
Your submission inbox shouldn't become another spreadsheet.
See status, categories and judging readiness without rebuilding filters in sheets.
Clear current status
Know what needs info, review or selection next.
Ready for judging
Hand complete entries to panels without remapping.
Multi-category tracking
Follow films across categories without duplicate uploads.
Inside the workspace
Set it up once. Watch it fill.
The setup you configure is the same structure filmmakers see, judges inherit and programming reads from.
