In Development · Closed Beta

The production operating system built by working filmmakers.

Script, schedule, budget, and call sheets from one source of truth, so a 4 pm script revision doesn't become a 7 pm crisis.

Per-production dashboard
01

Three problems every production has, None of them have to.

01

Same scene numbers, re-typed in four tools by Tuesday.

Break it down once. Schedule, budget, DOOD and call sheet read from the same scenes. Every element, every cast member, every location, already there. The call sheet builds itself from the day.

02

Five days got added to the schedule. The budget hasn't heard.

One stripboard, one budget, one DOOD. Every department reads the same number. one change cascades downstream.

03

Dailies sit on a card overnight. The script supervisor's circles never make it to the editor's bin.

Cards offload through the DIT pipeline. Dailies hit editorial the same night, with circled takes from script sup and any VFX flags already tagged. When it's time for turnover, the EDL writes itself.

02

Connect everything. Re-enter nothing.

Grace is built around one idea: every department on a film should be working from the same picture. Breakdown feeds schedule. Schedule feeds budget. Budget feeds call sheet. Everything connects, nothing gets re-entered, and no one is working from a stale version. One system, end to end, from page to wrap.

One upload changes everything downstream.

One screen for the day on set. Everything the floor needs, live.

Every role sees their own view, and nothing else.

Compliance flagged when the day's being built, not after payroll.

03

Co-pilot, not autopilot.

Every value in Grace carries a colored dot that tells you who made the call. Software does the busywork. The people running the show stay in control.

07Grace AI

A co-pilot that knows your production.

The chat panel reads the production state and answers questions in context. Why is this scene's HMU so long? Which crew member's call time conflicts with a turnaround? What's our French-hours exposure today? Trained on industry compliance: IATSE, DGA, SAG, Teamsters thresholds built in.

Every feature here exists because one of us needed it.

Grace is built by Kshitij Kapil, a working cinematographer and colorist, and Siddharth Agrawal, who runs the studio. We've sat in the AD chair, signed the timesheets, and watched a call sheet die because someone re-cut the script at 4 pm.

This isn't just a market research. It's the tool we wanted on our own pictures.

Things people ask before they buy.

What makes Grace different from existing production software?
Most production tools are databases. A script in one place, a schedule in another, a call sheet that someone re-types from both. Grace is a intelligent workflow. The script change cascades to the call sheet on its own; every department reads the same number, and union compliance is checked when the day is built, not at payroll audit. Every value carries a dot showing who decided it. Grace suggested, you decided, or signed. Humans run the production. Software handles the busywork.
Can my whole crew use it, or just production?
The whole crew. Seats are organized by role. Producers and UPMs at the top, directors and department heads in the middle, crew and cast at the floor. Standard includes 28 seats out of the box; Studio includes 56. Seat packs extend further as you need them. The crew tier sees only their day, their call, their own time card. Never the budget, never the script unless they're in the scene.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your access stays unaffected until the end of billing period then it switches you to read-only. every script, breakdown, schedule, budget, and call sheet is still there, you just can't edit. Resume the subscription any time and editing comes back.
Does it handle weekly TV or multi-block episodics?
Today Grace is optimized for one production at a time. Weekly TV and multi-block episodic shows are on the roadmap. If that's your shape, write to us. We'd rather hear from you before we build it than after.
What about SAG Ultra Low Budget / Short Project Agreement?
Standard SAG-AFTRA thresholds work today. The tier-specific variants (Low Budget, Ultra Low Budget, Short Project Agreement) are in the next compliance release. If you're shooting on one of those agreements now, we'll get them in front of our timeline.
How does Grace handle confidential screeners?
Through the Vault. Magic-link delivery with a 6-digit code to the recipient's email, forensic watermarking burned into every frame (email + session ID), device locking on first claim, and a full event log of code requests, plays, seeks, and device changes. The recipient gets the cut without an account.
Are you self-hosted or SaaS?
SaaS, with US-based hosting and storage. Self-hosted deployment for studios that need it is on the table. Write to us if it's a hard requirement.
Who's behind it?
Grace Production OS is a joint venture between Obelisk Studios, founded by Kshitij Kapil, and TDH Systems, founded by Siddharth Agrawal. Two filmmakers, a working DP and colorist on one side, a producer and engineer on the other, building the tool they wanted on their own pictures. The full story is on the partnership page.

Grace is open to a small beta cohort right now.

Tell us about your production and we'll get you set up.
