If your work starts with a script — if you attend production meetings or go on location scouts — if you have to track on-set continuity — if you take and store photos of sets or props — if you make shot lists — if you make and track orders, rental, purchases, or repairs — if you run a crew — even if you just track the hours of a crew — then DEPARTMENT HEAD is for you.

DEPARTMENT HEAD allows you to import a script and link all your work to a secure database built from the script. When the script is revised, simply import the revised script and your database adjusts.

Create and distribute breakdowns and budgets; set To-Do’s, store your notes, photos, reference videos, links or other attachments all in one place — all from one App — DEPARTMENT HEAD.

DEPARTMENT HEAD puts it all at your fingertips. Store your breakdowns, contacts, reference photos, schedules, old scripts — all your work for a film or even for an entire season of a TV show, all on one iPAD.

DEPARTMENT HEAD allow users to create a database by either importing a properly formatted Final Draft and Screenwriter script or by manually adding scene fields. Once Department Head creates the database, users can begin breaking down the script creating budgets and schedules and so much more.
