Showrunner
AI-powered production management platform for media creators. Automates scheduling, asset coordination, and team communication for TV and film productions.
The Problem
Media production teams spend 40% of their time on coordination overhead — managing schedules, tracking assets, and aligning departments. This friction kills creative momentum.
The Solution
Built a centralized production OS that uses AI to auto-schedule shoots based on location/crew availability, track asset delivery across departments, and surface conflicts before they become costly delays.
Architecture
Django REST backend with Celery for async task queues, PostgreSQL for relational data, Redis for real-time pub/sub, and a Next.js frontend with live collaboration features.
Key Challenges
Real-time synchronization across departments with conflicting data models. Solved using event sourcing with Django signals feeding a Redis pub/sub layer.
Lessons Learned
Domain modeling is everything. Spending 2 extra weeks on the domain model saved months of refactoring later.
Impact & Results
Reduced production coordination time by 35% in pilot deployments with independent production companies.
