Our Mission
FilmBurst is dedicated to democratizing film production by providing free, professional-grade tools and resources to filmmakers worldwide. We believe that great stories shouldn't be limited by access to expensive software or industry calculators.
Founded in 2024, FilmBurst emerged from a simple observation: while the film industry has become more accessible than ever, many essential planning and calculation tools remain locked behind expensive software suites or industry gatekeepers. We're changing that.
Our mission is threefold:
- Accessibility: Making professional film tools available to everyone, regardless of budget
- Education: Helping aspiring filmmakers understand industry standards and practices
- Innovation: Continuously improving our tools based on user feedback and industry evolution
