What if film production could
all happen at once?
TakeOne is a desktop-first web application designed to empower directors, producers, production managers, and creative film teams to plan projects, manage tasks, schedule activities, and hire cast and crew members all within a single, modern platform.
TakeOne blends the worlds of project management, creative planning, and talent hiring into an intuitive experience designed for the film and entertainment industry
Simplifying Complex Film Productions
Film production often involves juggling scripts, locations, crew members, timelines, and budgets across scattered tools and emails. There’s no cohesive space to manage productions efficiently while also finding and hiring the right talent.
How might we create a platform that streamlines production planning while connecting teams to the creative talent they need?
A Unified Platform for Film Teams
Plan and Organize Productions
Manage scripts, breakdowns, moodboards, shotlists, storyboards, and shooting schedules in one place, eliminating the need for excess tools
Streamline Task Management
Track progress with to-dos, assign tasks, and stay aligned through a centralized calendar and schedule view
Simplify Crew Hiring
Post jobs, discover talent, and apply for production roles within a growing film industry network — reducing friction between planning and staffing
Build and Manage Teams
Create a dedicated database for cast and crew, making team management seamless across multiple projects
Connect with the Broader Industry
Access resources, industry events, and ongoing opportunities to support productions at every stage
Understanding the Challenges of Film Production Teams
Participants currently rely on scattered methods (referrals, social media, personal databases) to find crew, making a centralized professional platform highly valuable
Participants want user profiles with portfolios and reviews, job postings with clear application processes, and identity verification
When selecting crew, participants prioritize skills, availability, cost, and recommendations, along with compatibility, communication, and shared vision for the project
Features like calendar syncing, contract management, payment processing, and task tracking are essential to support end-to-end production workflows
Real-Time Production Overview
The Dashboard provides a quick snapshot of active projects, upcoming tasks, scheduled events, and recent activities. It serves as the user's command center to navigate ongoing productions
Comprehensive Project Management
Users view, create, and manage all film projects in one place. Each project includes essential details like production timelines, assigned teams, and organized breakdowns of scripts, moodboards, storyboards, and call sheets.
This structure streamlines project oversight, ensures no detail is overlooked, and keeps teams aligned from pre-production through wrap.
Streamlined Task Management
The Tasks feature organizes all production-related work in one place. Users can track progress, update statuses, prioritize workflows, and ensure deadlines are met, keeping the production process smooth and teams aligned.
Opportunities & Industry Connections
The Events feature highlights upcoming industry opportunities such as film festivals, conferences, and virtual meetups, helping users network, learn, and participate.
The Jobs feature connects users with film professionals, allowing them to browse, post, and apply for crew opportunities while accessing resources and industry updates to stay informed and engaged.
Impact: Simplifying Production, Amplifying Creativity
TakeOne streamlines the entire production journey, enabling teams to plan projects, manage tasks, hire crew, and access industry resources and events—all from a single platform.
By consolidating these workflows, the app reduces miscommunication, prevents missed deadlines, and keeps creative teams aligned, making film production more efficient and less stressful.
