For film studios and producers

Carry an approved story through breakdowns, scenes, shots, generation, assembly, and finishing without inventing a second identity system for the media, and keep one evidence trail from development to delivery.

Who this is for: producers and studios who need the production to be provable, scoped, and governed, not just generated.

The development desk, actually read

Every studio and agency runs on coverage: a stable of readers working the script pile, writing notes, making recommends, missing things at 11pm on a Thursday. The pile never shrinks, and the best material is only as discoverable as the tiredest reader is thorough.

Auteur gives development a persistent reader that never tires and never forgets. Eval and memory work the unread pile on every development desk: coverage on each script, notes cited to the page, recommends argued rather than asserted, and breakdowns for budget, setting, and cast produced in the same pass. And because it remembers everything it has read, you can hunt the pile: describe what you are looking for and it finds and identifies the scripts that match.

“Read the forty scripts in the pile. Coverage and a recommend on each, notes cited to the page, and flag anything that plays as a two-hander thriller we could shoot for under five million.”

The development ask, at scale

“Forty read. Six recommends, nine considers, twenty-five passes, each with cited coverage. Three fit your thriller brief; one is a true two-hander with a single primary location, and I broke it down for budget, setting, and cast to show you why. The pile also holds a supernatural western you did not ask for but should read: coverage attached.”

Illustrative exchange. Evidence-linked coverage, cited notes, and script breakdowns are shipped surfaces.

For an agency hunting novels and scripts worth making, this is not a convenience feature. It is a different way to run a slate: small shops get the reading department they could never staff, and large ones get a reader whose memory of the pile is total.

The journey

1. Break it down in Auteur Prep. Turn a script into evidence-linked coverage, breakdowns, department packets, and a human-reviewed production graph. Apply for the Founding Beta, /founding-beta/.

2. Produce in Auteur Film. Carry the approved story through scenes, shots, generation, and assembly. Apply for the Founding Beta, /founding-beta/.

3. Finish in Auteur Edit. Bring generated and traditional media into a governed DaVinci Resolve workflow with explicit staging and protected operations. Request Invitation, /founding-beta/?track=invite.

4. Release with Auteur Launch. Carry the same project into the website, edition, and campaign materials. Contact for Studio Engagement, /contact/?topic=studio-engagement.

What stays true across the journey

One project identity for the media, from breakdown to finished shot. An approval made in prep is still an approval in the edit; the record of what changed, what ran, and what passed is built from what actually happened, not from a summary.

Works with the agent you already use

Bring your own agent. Auteur is an amplification and accountability layer, never a replacement for your harness, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Antigravity, OpenClaw, Hermes, or any spec-compliant MCP client, each at its own published compatibility status. See Integrations.

Honest scope

Film's supported provider lanes are published as a certification matrix, so no lane is presented as universal.

Take the next step

Start with the breakdown. Apply for the Founding Beta, /founding-beta/. An application to work alongside us; this starts a conversation with us, and seats, when offered, are paid.
