Australian Productions Need Tools That Work in the Bush and the Studio
Australia's film and television industry is thriving. From international co-productions shooting at Fox Studios Sydney and Docklands Melbourne to homegrown features, from high-end drama series for streaming platforms to independent films that punch at international festivals, Australian production is diverse and growing. The industry benefits from world-class crews, stunning locations, and generous tax incentives that attract both local and international work.
But many Australian productions still manage their core production workflow manually. Script breakdowns assembled with highlighters and printed scripts. Schedules in spreadsheets. Call sheets typed up every evening. The process works, but it wastes hours that the AD, coordinator, and production team could spend on more valuable work.
Automated Script Breakdowns
Upload your screenplay and CutPrint generates a complete scene-by-scene breakdown — cast, locations, time of day, props, wardrobe, vehicles, and production elements. The AD reviews and refines the output instead of building from scratch. For episodic television with tight turnaround between script delivery and shoot prep, this speed matters.
Stripboard Scheduling with Conflict Detection
CutPrint's stripboard provides the familiar visual format with drag-and-drop digital efficiency. Automatic conflict detection flags cast double-bookings. Day counts and page totals update in real time. Cross-episode scheduling handles the block-shooting that is standard in Australian television production.
Offline-First for Australia's Remote Locations
Australian productions routinely shoot in locations where connectivity is nonexistent — the outback, remote coastal areas, national parks, and rural properties. This is not an edge case; it is the norm for a significant percentage of Australian production. CutPrint is built offline-first. The full schedule, breakdowns, and call sheets live on the AD's phone and work without internet. Changes sync when connectivity returns.
Role-Based Access for the Whole Team
From the first AD to the director, producer, line producer, location manager, and script supervisor — each role accesses the data relevant to their function. One platform, one source of truth, no confusion about which version of the schedule is current.
Call Sheets Generated, Not Typed
Call sheets assemble automatically from the scheduled shoot day. Scene details, cast calls, location addresses, and department notes are pulled from existing production data. Review, export to PDF, distribute. The nightly data-entry session is replaced by a quick review.
Built for Australian Production
Whether it is a feature shooting in the Blue Mountains, a series in production at a Melbourne studio, or an international project using Australian locations and crews, CutPrint provides the production management infrastructure the industry deserves.
