Publishing & Distribution

Not everyone who needs a document should be inside your live project. FilmKit's publishing turns working documents into stable, shareable artifacts — call sheets, script revisions, sides, shot lists — and distributes them to the people who need them.

Publications

The Publications page lists a production's published documents, grouped by type:

Each entry shows its revision number, stage, and date, with a Download PDF action once the artifact is ready. Publications is one of the few surfaces a read-only viewer can see, which makes it the shared record of what's official.

Distributing to crew

Crew don't log into your project — they receive documents. When you publish and send a call sheet, each recipient gets a secure, token-gated link where they can:

  • Open the latest published revision and download the signed PDF.
  • Confirm receipt, so you can track who's seen it from the distribution panel.
  • Update their own contact details — name, phone, emergency contact, food preferences, address — through a self-service link, without an account.

Festival submissions

For finished work, FilmKit also connects to festivals. From a festival's profile in the directory, signed-in users can submit their work — as one of their profiles, with a title and a link. Your My festival submissions dashboard tracks every submission and its status across festivals, and festival organizers review and decide on incoming submissions from their own profile's inbox.
