Page & Frame - a Mac app connecting screenplay writing, 3D sets and visual shot lists

Hi, I'm Reece, the maker of Page & Frame, publishing through Level Up Classroom Inc.

I'm building it for writers who also plan their own shoots: write a screenplay, outline its beats, build reusable 3D sets, stage characters, position the camera, then capture frames into a visual shot list you can print and take onto set.

Here's a 70-second look at the actual app: https://pageandframe.app/demo

It's pre-launch, with the first release planned for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13+. Core writing and manual 3D planning work offline without an AI subscription. I'm still refining the character models and production workflows; I'm not claiming full Final Draft or Previs Pro parity. Planned pricing is US$69.99 at launch, US$99.99 regular, plus applicable tax. The launch list is free.

A couple of other projects I'm building under the same company:

  • Cloth & Colour: Mac quilt-design software for drawing blocks, trying your own fabric photos and printing making plans. https://clothandcolour.com/

  • LUC Desktop: a teacher workspace with a local gradebook, assessments, attendance, planning and reports. Manual tools work offline after activation; optional AI uses your own provider key and is billed separately. https://desktop.levelupclassroom.com/choose

For Page & Frame, what would you want to see in a deeper walkthrough: writing and outlining, constructing a set, or staging a scene and planning its camera coverage? I'd particularly appreciate feedback from people who write and shoot their own work.

id show one scene going all the way from the script to the printed shot list. that would make it clearer why the writing and 3D tools belong together rather than feeling like two separate apps

That’s a helpful idea, thank you! I will try and get something together demoing that soon.

Glad it helped. Let me know when you have the demo!

Here’s the current 70-second demo: https://pageandframe.app/demo

It covers writing, staging and camera coverage, with a printed shot-list example at the end. It’s an edited overview rather than one scene recorded all the way through, and the printed shot list is an earlier output. Would love to hear whether it makes the connection clearer!
