AI Production Operations

You make the film.
BackLot runs everything else.

An AI agent that handles casting, scheduling, funding, and distribution for independent filmmakers. The operational backbone your productions need, running autonomously while you stay on set.

Multi-hyphenate creators shouldn't need a back office.

You're the writer, director, producer, and talent all at once. Every hour spent managing spreadsheets, chasing investors, and coordinating submissions is an hour stolen from the work that matters.

01

Casting is a full-time job

Posting breakdowns, reviewing submissions, scheduling auditions, sending callbacks. For every role, across every project, all manually.

02

Scheduling collapses under weight

Multiple projects, overlapping timelines, crew availability, location permits. One change cascades through everything.

03

Funding never stops being work

Investor updates, pitch decks, grant deadlines, fund management. The money side of filmmaking is a production in itself.

04

Distribution is an afterthought

Festival submissions, platform outreach, licensing conversations. The film is done but the work is only halfway over.

What BackLot Does

Four agents. Zero back office.

Casting Pipeline

Finds talent, manages submissions, schedules auditions, sends callbacks. Runs your casting process from breakdown to booking without manual follow-up.

Production Scheduling

Coordinates crew, locations, and timelines across multiple projects. Adapts automatically when things shift. Sends call sheets without you touching a spreadsheet.

Investor Relations

Manages your funding pipeline. Tracks investor communications, sends updates, prepares reports. Keeps your film fund organized so you can focus on production.

Distribution Engine

Handles festival submissions, tracks deadlines, manages platform outreach. Gets your finished work in front of the right audiences without you becoming a full-time marketer.

The future of independent film is autonomous.

Production companies of one, running like studios of a hundred. That's what BackLot is building.
