Case Study
New Vision Film Foundation
A film nonprofit replaced manual workflows with 10 custom AI tools in two weeks.
The Client
New Jersey Film Nonprofit
New Vision Film Foundation supports independent filmmakers through script development, production funding, and industry connections. Board includes Emmy-winning producers, Netflix's Blood of Zeus creators, and executives from Paramount, Sony, A24, and Netflix.
They had the talent and the network. They needed operational infrastructure.
The Challenge
Manual Workflows, No Central System
Script submissions meant hours of manual analysis. Budgets lived in spreadsheets. No central pipeline, no talent tracking, no investor follow-up system.
The broader lesson: Not a film problem -- an operations problem. Any organization that processes applications, tracks projects through stages, or manages budgets faces the same bottlenecks.
The Solution
10 Custom AI Tools, One System
One web app covering every stage of the operation. Built on their infrastructure, fully owned, no subscriptions.
AI Script Coverage
Full screenplay analysis -- structure, pacing, dialogue, marketability -- with scores and notes. Minutes instead of hours.
Project Chat AI
Contextual assistant that knows every project detail. Ask questions, get answers with citations.
Budget Planning Engine
9-line breakdown, NJ tax credit calculations, automatic totaling. Pre-filled templates by production scale.
Full Project Pipeline
8-stage tracker from Development through Archive. Every project visible at a glance.
Talent & Crew Tracker
Status pipeline for all creatives. AI extracts character breakdowns directly from scripts.
Location Scout AI
Analyzes scripts for filming requirements and recommends states ranked by tax incentives and location fit.
Festival Submission Formatter
Pre-filled submission forms. Tracks status and deadlines.
Pitch & Investor Tracker
Financing pipeline with follow-up alerts and commitment tracking.
Producer Briefing
AI-generated one-page summary per project -- script, budget, talent, pitch status. Board-ready in seconds.
Same principle, any industry.
Script coverage becomes case review. Pipelines track deals, applications, or service delivery. If you do repetitive knowledge work, this scales it.
The Results
One System, Full Operation
Scripts analyzed in minutes. Budgets calculate automatically. Every project, person, and follow-up in one place.
Runs on their DigitalOcean account, their domain, their database. We built it -- they own it.
The Technology
Built to Last
Flask, PostgreSQL, vanilla JavaScript. Two lightweight apps sharing a common Python module. Fits on a single DigitalOcean droplet with room to grow.
Tech Stack
Why this matters: No framework churn. No vendor lock-in. Any developer can extend it on day one. Simple scales better than clever.
The Handoff
Full Ownership Transfer
Not access -- ownership.
Domain, server credentials, deployment docs, onboarding call. Hire any developer to extend it. Sell the organization with the software as an asset. It's theirs.
Let's see if there's a fit.
Same approach works for law firms, agencies, healthcare, consultancies -- any organization with repetitive workflows.
