Learn and teach production — on the house

Approved students get all of CSF Pro, free, for as long as they study. Every tool, and as many films as they want to plan. Teachers get seats for the class, and one place to set the work and read it back.

Sign up for CSF with your school email (a .edu address, say) before you apply.

What a class gets

The tools, the seats, and what the students walk away with.

The Scenes tab after a breakdown, each scene with its heading, time of day, page eighths and the characters in it

The full Pro toolkit

Script breakdown, storyboards, shot lists, stripboards, budgets, call sheets, deal memos. The same tools paid crews run on.

The projects list: three films as cards with their format, genre, crew count and what stage each is at

Unlimited projects and crew

One place for every assignment, every thesis film, every student crew. Nobody has to hunt for a spare seat.

The Team tab: an invite row above a crew list naming each member and the role they hold

Seats for your classroom

Teachers get the whole class in, plus a shared space to read the breakdowns and schedules students hand back.

The class shoots off a real call sheet

The schedule a class builds prints the call sheet the crew turns up on, and the crew app puts it in every pocket.

The takes come back to the project

Footage from the day lands beside the script and the schedule it came from, ready to watch back and cut.

Your work leaves with you

Export the script, the schedule, the budget and the cut in formats other software reads. When the course ends the files are still yours.
