The whole production toolkit
Script breakdown, storyboards, shot lists, stripboards, budgets, call sheets, deal memos. The same tools paid crews run on.
Education
Education Program
Teach production the way a set runs it.
One project the whole class works in, from the first draft to the last cut. Classes that test it on real films run on Pro, paid for in feedback.
Every phase of the film in one place
A class works the way a set works: first draft to final cut, with the shoot days and the edit in between.

The same tools a working crew runs on, so the habits carry over to the first job.
A class that works like a crew
Students break the script down, build the stripboard, cost the days and print the call sheets. Then they shoot off them. The teacher can open every step of it, and nobody has to collect a folder of spreadsheets on Friday.
Sign up for CSF with your school email (a .edu address, say) before you apply.
What the class works in
The tools, the shoot, and what students walk away with.
Every film in one list
Each assignment, thesis film and student crew has its own project, with the people on it and the stage it has reached.
Read the work as it lands
Join each student project and read the breakdowns and schedules while they are being built. Notes land while there is still time to act on them.
The class shoots off a real call sheet
The schedule a class builds prints the call sheet the crew turns up on, and the crew app puts it in every pocket.
The takes come back to the project
Footage from the day lands beside the script and the schedule it came from, ready to watch back and cut.
Your work leaves with you
Export the script, the schedule, the budget and the cut in formats other software reads. When the course ends the files are still yours.
How the trade works
Your class makes real films in CSF. We learn what to fix from how it goes.
- 1
Apply with your school email
Open a CSF account with your school email, then tell us about the course.
- 2
Run a real class project
Put a class film in CSF: the script, the breakdown, the schedule, the shoot and the cut.
- 3
Tell us what works and what breaks
Every project has a thumbs up, a thumbs down and a record button at the top. A short recording of the thing that broke tells us more than a page of notes.

Stay on Pro while the notes come in
Classes that keep telling us how it goes keep running on Pro, a term at a time.
We look at each class again at the end of term.
Apply for education access
Tell us about the course and the films the class will make. Approvals usually take 2–3 business days.
