Education Program
Free for the next generation of filmmakers.
Cinema Set Free is free for verified students and educators — the full production toolkit, from AI script breakdowns and storyboards to scheduling, budgeting, and call sheets. Learn and teach the whole pipeline in one place.
Every phase of the film — one platform
