Useful App for Student Filmmakers

Hey All,

My name is Owen Patry, I am a professional Focus Puller with 10+ years of experience. I'm making an app for freelance filmmakers. It's called "LineItems" and it's a film freelancer admin suite. It tracks your jobs and relative due dates, expenses, invoices, and provides analytics on your income. It will help you keep all your admin work fast and efficient. And if you're new to the industry, it will teach you how to bill and what info is important to track.

When I was a student filmmaker just breaking into the industry, I didn't have anyone sit me down and teach me how to take care of all the admin work that's required in being a freelancer. It took me the better part of a decade to figure it out and keep track of it in such a way that made sense when it came to tax season. Not to mention, I also would often drop the ball on whether or not I had been paid from a job because I never knew when the payment was due and kind of just hoped that the producer would stick to their word and pay me... :oops:

You can find info on the app HERE and check out the socials on the LINKTREE

The app isn't live yet, but will be in the coming months. Sign up for the Dev Diary on my website if you want to stay up to date about it's release date or you can always email me directly at [email protected] I'm happy to answer any questions or take any feature suggestions. Hope to hear from you!

Thanks for the positivity. A lot of admins reject my posts even though I'm part of the community and I'm making this for filmmakers. I'm hoping this helps people understand their worth better. Maybe it gives people the tools to negotiate for better rates by knowing how much to ask for based on their improved knowledge of their own income!

Sadly, these days, it is really difficult to make the difference between real people and AI bots. I believe a lot of admins did not understand that you are a real person who makes a useful product for all of us. But do not let this demotivate you! :D
