Automating Film Scheduling
Hi HN, my name is Sammy. I am new to the community. We're building Shamel (https://www.shamelstudio.com) a solution focused on automating the tedious parts of film scheduling. For script breakdowns we utilize a mix of text parsing algorithms & an LLM to achieve this. We are built by filmmakers for filmmakers (mainly producers & assistant directors). Demo video: https://youtu.be/aEYQ71_9THI My co-founder, Feras, has been a producer for nearly a decade and he's been frustrated by the tedious and mundane nature of creating a schedule, which can take up to 2 weeks.

XBeast2024 · xbeast.io · ▲228A few weeks ago I realized i was spending way too much time trying to write quality posts for Twitter. So I decided to look into scheduling tools which could help me automate my writing. I tried a few, but none of them satisfied me. Either the interface was way too complicated or the features i wanted were just not there. Finally, after some time I gave up… and instead I decided to just do it! I hacked up a quick prototype in a weekend. Tried it out - it worked!! Mostly.. I fixed some bugs, made a nice UI, and now (3 weeks later) I think I built one of the nicest scheduling tools out there.
