Willco, a new tool to make film production management easier

Willco, a new tool to manage film production

Combining features of film coordination and management, Willco is a cloud application for film and TV production developed by filmmakers who knew their needs were beyond spreadsheets, crossed emails, phone calls, memos, sticky notes and scribbles to coordinate teams. 

EWA member Asia Jarzyna is one of the co-founders  of this powerful tool which handles the essential production aspects:  cast and crew hiring, suppliers management, shooting and production locations' management and prep and shooting activities scheduling

After a successul beta phase, Willco was launched by the end of 2018.

Willco integrates features of information sharing and distribution, digital approval, issuing of production documents and paperless legal paperwork processing and certified digital signature. Their goal is green filming, saving paper, ink and energy with the proper tools.
