The Problem

How productions are run today — and why it fails.

On most sets, critical information lives in WhatsApp groups, personal notebooks, and scattered Excel files. When things go wrong, there is no audit trail.

💬
WhatsApp for everything
Requirements, approvals, expense approvals, crew announcements — all mixed in the same group. Critical messages get buried.
Messages lost · No accountability
📊
Excel for budgets
One person maintains the budget sheet. It's always out of date. Nobody else can see real-time spending. PM is always guessing.
Always outdated · One point of failure
📝
Paper notebooks on set
Shoot logs, requirements, vendor contacts written by hand. Impossible to share, easy to lose. No history, no search.
Zero visibility · Lost forever if damaged
vs CinemaOps

Everything in one place. Every requirement tracked. Every expense logged with a bill. Every approval with a full audit trail. Your entire production — visible in real time.

How It Works

From requirement to delivery — every step tracked.

1
Department submits
DOP, Art, Lighting — anyone submits a requirement from their phone or desktop. Category, description, date, estimated cost.
2
PM reviews & approves
Production Manager sees all pending requests in one screen. Approve, reject, or ask for clarification — with full comment history.
3
Procurement tracks it
Approved items move to procurement. Vendor is assigned, purchase order raised, delivery tracked. All visible to PM.
4
Expense is logged
Bill is uploaded from phone. Expense recorded against the project. Producer sees budget impact immediately. No surprises.

What Productions Say

Built with feedback from real production teams.

★★★★★
"Before CinemaOps, our PM was managing everything through five WhatsApp groups. Now every department knows exactly what is approved, what is pending, and what is procured — without a single phone call."
RK
Ravi Kumar
Production Manager · Telugu Feature Film
★★★★★
"As a DOP I only care about my department's equipment and budget. CinemaOps gives me exactly that view — I submit requirements, track their status and see my spend. Nothing else clutters my screen."
AV
Arun Varma
Director of Photography · Hyderabad
★★★★★
"The budget visibility alone is worth it. I can see in real time how much each department has spent versus their allocation. Transport was at 89% by Day 12 — we caught it early and reallocated before it became a problem."
