The reference library
every story team forgot they were paying for.

Paste a thread.
We read the comment, the replies, and the room. The story arc is back in five seconds.

Style match
Mood-aware.
Match the warmth, the grain, the lens choice. Not a thesaurus of tags — a colorist's eye.

Mood boards, shot lists, PDF treatments. Direct hand-off to your DP.

Collaboration
Built for the room.
Comment threads on every frame. Approvals stay where the work happens — not in a separate doc.

Process
From comment to call sheet,
in three quiet steps.
- 01
Drop a comment.
Paste a single line, a thread, or an entire DM. We treat it like a director's note — read between the words.
- 02
Get the references.
Curated frames from films, ads, and shorts that match the emotional shape of what you pasted. Five seconds. No prompts to engineer.
- 03
Build the board.
Pick the frames, write the treatment, hand it to your team. Or hand it to the production company. Or shoot it yourself.
In the room
Used by the studios
you would name first.
“I used to spend two days pulling references for a single pitch. STORYFRAME does it in the time it takes me to read the comment again. We pitch in days, not weeks.”
“The cinematographer tags are what won me over. It actually thinks like the people I work with. No more 'something moody but happy' arguments.”
“We migrated three concurrent treatments to STORYFRAME in a week. The export feeds straight into our production deck. The room moves faster.”

Priced by the work,
