What ScenePaper is
ScenePaper is a free, browser-based project OS for film, television, and content production from development through wrap, with crew discovery and hiring. Its Writers’ Room supports Fountain screenwriting, revision colours, collaboration, sides, and formatted PDF export. Production tools include script breakdowns, stripboard scheduling, Day Out of Days, shot lists, storyboards, budgets, call sheets, daily reports, and department hubs. Supported formats range from Reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos to music videos, advertisements, documentaries, short films, OTT series, and features. Crew Cards are reviewed by administrators and include verified filmography and peer vouching; ScenePaper takes no commission on hires arranged through the platform. Google sign-in and Calendar sync are available when connected. The developer API provides crew search, crew-call management, and analytics access, with rate limits of 60 requests per minute for Standard and 600 for Pro. ScenePaper says data in transit uses TLS, servers are in Mumbai on AWS ap-south-1, and uploaded files are on Cloudflare R2. Users can export or delete data from The Booth, and scripts use open Fountain plain text.
