The problem every director knows.

A director has to hold the whole film in their head and hand pieces of it to forty people who each need something different. The references that explain a sequence live with the DP, the designer and the editor, and none of them see the same version.

cine.gallery gives the look of every sequence one address. Build a gallery per sequence, share it with each department, and update it in one place — the link everyone has is always the current film.

What goes in it.

Whatever you work from. These are the references kept here most often for directing, and the kind of thing people type to find them again.

Frequently asked questions.

It is built for anyone who works from visual references — film, photography, brand and design. Hold the look of every sequence in one place, and hand a department the exact frames you mean.

No. Uploads are analysed for search as they land, so describing what is in the picture works from the start. Suggested tags are there to confirm or reject when you want sharper results.

Yes. A gallery shared by link or published opens in any browser. Guest uploads let collaborators add files to a shared gallery with just a name and an email.

On your own, Solo: a private library of 2,000 uploads, ten galleries, sharing and original downloads. When a department needs one shared library, move to Team.
