[ 01 ] WHAT WE BELIEVE

Render now, greenlight later.

A great pitch reel doesn't show the movie. It promises one, convincingly enough that a financier picks up a pen.

Three products. One job.

Make the buyer see the film.

01 90s – 3:00

Pitch trailers

Did they read the script? For producers walking into Apple, Plan B, A24, AFM, movie‑quality visuals rendered from your script are a life-saver. It's the reel that gets the deal.

02 60 – 90s

Lookbook video

For director attachment and talent packaging; a moving palette, period and frame inspires buy-in.

03 2 – 6 min

Proof-of-concept reels

For limited series and features, use MAINFRAME to help option, attach, and pre-sell across territories. Buyers should be able to see what they're buying!

[ 03 ] WHY NOW

Pitch budgets have collapsed.

Studios stopped funding spec development — a script alone won't land the meeting.

[ A ] Avg. spec / pitch development budget
$250K 2018
~$0 2026

What a studio would once spend developing a spec script — gone.

With spec budgets gone, AI can step in. A reel now does what a budget used to.

[ 04 ] HOW WE WORK

Between the script and the screen.

Four steps. Twelve days. A reel that closes.

01

Script in

Send the PDF, the logline, the references. We do the rest.

02

Boards

Once in our workflow, a prompt director storyboards, creates a shot-list and defines the palette.

03

Render

Our servers hum away and by day six there's a ‘rough’ for review. ‘Final’ for day ten.

04

Delivered

PRO-RES 4K, DCP, web cut. Notes welcome for fourteen days.

[ 05 ] FOR FILMMAKERS

Epic shots that won't blow the budget.

If you're already shooting or in post, we deliver the shots your story needs but your budget couldn't reach; render, don't rent!

You shot the film. One sequence still lives on the page — the one that was never affordable. We render it to your footage, your grade, your frame, and you cut it in like it was always there.

[ 06 ] FOR FILMMAKERS

The shot that breaks the budget.

One large crowd scene — 200 extras, closed streets, multiple cameras — runs north of $300,000 a day.

ONE DAY · ONE CROWD SCENE ≈ $302K
  • 200 background extras + fringes $52K
  • Grip, electric & lighting $50K
  • Wardrobe, hair & make-up $45K
  • Camera — 5 operators + packages $40K
  • Permits, street closure & police $35K
  • Transport, base camp & catering $30K
  • 1st AD team + crowd wrangling $25K
  • Insurance & contingency $25K

A typical indie feature's entire budget rarely clears $1–2M. One crowd day can swallow a fifth of it — so the scene gets cut.

Shoot it for real — 1 day $300K+
Render it with MAINFRAME a fraction
[ 07 ] STUDIO

The advantage is our workflow.

We work with the producers, lit agents, and packagers walking into the rooms where films get made. We deliver reels used to attach name talent, close studio deals, and pre-sell territories. Under embargo, the pre-sale conversation is where we live. Founded by Tony Martin, based in Hollywood Hills, working internationally.

We build what you need for a fraction of the traditional costs, in a fraction of the time. We are not a prompt box. We are a community of creatives with a proprietary workflow. We bring shot continuity, palette discipline and director intent, packaged and encoded in processes developed by industry professionals. We exist to help sell your concept or boost your creative vision.
