Aussie production management app sells in 50 countries
The MYF Mobile – Smart Filmmaking app, from local company Manage Your Film, has sold 1,500 downloads in three months, across more than 50 countries.
“Data from iTunes indicates that the locations with the most downloads are USA, Canada, UK and Australia. Existing customers have been very enthusiastic about the app; equally we have also been drawing in a new customer base directly from visits to the App Store,” company co-director Bec Duff told Encore.
The Manage Your Film website and app were both privately funded.
“This has worked for our current structure, in the future we wouldn’t rule out the idea of applying for government funding,” said Duff.
The app provides film crews with a portable office, sharing and accessing key production details from any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. It allows filmmakers to share production news updates, notes and data and upload images directly from their iPhones. The app works in sync with the full web version of Manage Your Film, enabling connection between crew members working on computer in the production office, overseas or on location.
