One Address Book Across Every Show

The Roster belongs to your account, not the production. Contacts you add stay with your account after a show wraps, so the gaffer from the last job is still there on the next one. Each contact holds a name, job titles, phone, email, city, state, country, IMDb link, website, reel link, and notes. Notes is free text: who they worked under, whether they own a truck, whether you'd hire them again.

Tip: A contact can carry more than one job title. Give a key grip who also dollies both, and they turn up in either search.

Filling the Roster from Your Productions

A sync reads the crew lists of every production you own or have access to and adds each person to your roster, or updates them if they are already there. The same person across three shows becomes one entry. Each contact then links to the productions they worked on.

Important: Sync reads from productions you currently have access to. If you have been removed from a past show, its crew will not appear. Run a sync while you still have access at the end of a job.

Importing from a Spreadsheet

Import accepts CSV, XLS, and XLSX. Upload the file, map the columns to roster fields, then commit. Nothing is written until you commit.

  • Column mapping is manual, so an unusual header layout is fine
  • Existing contacts are matched and updated, never duplicated
  • Rows with no name are skipped

Scanning a Business Card

Photograph a business card and the fields come back filled in. A vision model reads the card and pulls out name, title, phone, email, and company. Check what it gives you before saving. Plain cards read better than heavily designed ones.

Tip: Handy after a crew meeting when you come away with a stack of cards.

IMDb Credits

Link a contact to their IMDb page and their profile fills in from there: known-for titles, a short bio, and their film credits. The search is prefilled with the contact's name, so it is usually one click. You can also search and attach individual credits by hand, and remove any that are wrong. Common names return several people, so confirm you have the right one before linking.

Sharing a Contact

Every contact has a shareable card at a public link, and a vCard download that drops straight into a phone's address book. You can send either by email or text from inside the app, which is quicker than retyping someone's details when a UPM asks for a recommendation.

Avatars and Profile Photos

Contacts take a profile photo. Upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. The file is checked by its actual contents, so a renamed file with the wrong extension is rejected rather than stored.
