About this product
Giulia Martinelli
Animation Director / Illustrator
A structured, stress-free pipeline to manage festival deadlines, track submissions, and celebrate your film’s global screenings.
Built by an animation director, for independent filmmakers.
Submitting your short film to festivals should be an exciting milestone, not an overwhelming mess of missed deadlines, lost passwords, and budget stress.
After years of navigating the festival circuit (and hosting the animation podcast Under the Onion Skin), I built the exact tool I needed: a clean, low-stress Google Sheets dashboard designed to bring structured calm to your entire distribution run.
This tracker keeps your press assets, budgets, and screening milestones organized in one place.
