Company Soleil Clusters - The visual workspace and organization tool for the film industry

Welcome to FilmPlatforms, Andrew! We wish you every success with Soleil Clusters and look forward to following its journey. We'd also love to hear about your experiences in the film industry and hope you'll share your insights with the community.

There are so many project management tools available these days.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's used Soleil Clusters. What does it do particularly well compared to platforms like Notion, Trello, or Airtable?

Hey hey, having used it (and created it), my biggest goal with this tool was to have it be built for creatives (film in particular), so you will notice if you go on the platform and create a doc, there's an option to flip that document into screenplay mode. Then, right within the app, you can write an industry-standard screenplay. There are a bunch of things like that.

It is still quite new, so not all of our huge defining features are out yet, but it's an incredibly visual way to organize a visual medium.

Soon we will also be adding things like a call sheet creator, grids so you can make shot lists super easy, and a bunch more.

So all in all, it's not THAT different compared to other platforms, and you could likely figure out how to do these things on those platforms; however, this being built specifically for creatives, it will be a whole lot easier to do through here.

Think of it like a home base for creative projects. You can drag and drop any and all files into it to organize how you want, which can be right next to your beautiful moodboards, which can be right next to your script. Here's an example for a project we are working on now, we can sort and see our storyboards right next to our scripts right next to our characters, etc...

Would love to have you give it a try

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I really like the idea of building the platform specifically for filmmakers rather than adapting a general project management tool to fit film workflows.

I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming features, especially the call sheet creator and shot list tools. Wishing you the best with the project!
