Our platform seamlessly integrates with Google Maps and automatically tracks scenes and dates, embedding vital real-time information directly into your call sheets.

The Definitive Location List for Film and TV Production

Our movie location app provides a robust, dynamic list of locations you and your team build out during pre-production. This feature extends beyond shooting locations, venues and arenas to also cover unit bases and medical emergency locations.

Each entry in the location list comes enriched with essential details such as descriptions and location information, the street address, GPS coordinates, and customisable status indicators to offer quick visual insights into a location’s readiness.

Collaborative Image Galleries

Each location page within the film location app is a treasure trove of visuals. You’ll find an image gallery with a visual overview and a slide show to foster effective team collaboration.

Interactive Maps and Directions for Any Device

Regardless of the mobile, tablet, or laptop device, Dramatify provides various map formats, including traditional maps, satellite images, and Google Streetviews. The film location app lets you input your current location to get instant driving directions, transport time estimates, and even public transportation options.

Weather Information Made Easy

One of the standout features of Dramatify’s film location management platform is its weather forecasting ability. Based on your shooting location, our app automatically rolls out a ten-day weather forecast into your call sheets. This weather data is updated every three hours, including general conditions, temperature, wind speed, sunrise and sunset times. There is an option to add manual weather reports for specialised meteorological needs.

Permits, releases & contact information

Dramatify ensures your team avoids mistakes by gathering all paperwork in one location. You can add several contacts and upload releases and permits per location. You can also indicate that a site needs documentation, and Dramatify will bug you until it’s added.

Work Status Indicators

The importance of communication in film location management can’t be overstated. That’s why our film location app offers one-click status updates through colour-coded indicators. Whether a location is ready, needs attention, or is dismissed, you can instantly and visually communicate this to your team.
