Central people directory — 30 templates connect via Contact Lookup
Open Production Contacts and add your key people — directors, producers, crew department heads, agents, and frequent collaborators. This builds the hub that all other templates reference.
Open Vendors & Services and add rental houses, post facilities, catering companies, and regular suppliers. Add key personnel under each vendor's Contacts Tab.
Open Projects and create a record for your current or upcoming production. Fill in the project phase, key dates, budget overview, and link it to the lead producer.
Create Script, Scene Breakdown, and Shooting Schedule records tied to your project. These drive the preparation workflow leading into production.
Create a Production Budget, then use Purchase Orders and Invoices to track every dollar. Transaction Logs provide line-item detail across all financial templates.
As your production moves through post, deliverables, and distribution, engage those templates. Activate advanced templates when your workflow demands them.
This collection is a professionally designed starting point, not a locked system. Data Fortress gives you complete control to shape it around your studio's unique workflow.
Build your own templates from scratch for anything not covered — craft services tracking, talent perks, screening schedules, or anything unique to your productions.
Fine-tune any template — change field labels, enable or disable features, update purpose text, reassign menus, or rename anything to match your studio's terminology.
Delete templates you don't need, or simply toggle them to Inactive to hide them from menus and browse views without losing the design.
Combine templates from multiple collections or mix collection templates with your own custom creations for a system that's uniquely yours.
This collection grows with you whether you're launching your first production or running an established studio with a full slate.
You're new to production or starting a company. These templates teach you what records to keep and how professional productions organize their work. Get productive immediately at minimal cost with no subscription fees.
As your slate expands, customize templates to match your evolving workflow. Activate advanced templates when you're ready. Data Fortress scales with you without pressure to upgrade or migrate.
When you adopt tools like Movie Magic or Frame.io, Data Fortress fills the gaps. Keep using templates for contracts, compliance, vendor management, and more. Create new templates to bridge systems.
