A creative whiteboard that actually understands film. Characters, locations, and research aren't just cards — they're real, linked elements that recur across your story. For documentary and narrative.

The market splits into spatial-but-dumb whiteboards and form-driven production managers. Tentpole is the overlap: an infinite canvas backed by a real film data model.
Lay out your story on a zoomable, infinite canvas. Drop a card into a sequence and it's assigned there — position carries meaning.
Characters, locations, crew, camera, and research are reusable elements. Link them to any beat and see where they recur.
Organize by acts, sequences, and beats — or work freeform, then clean up. Templates like the documentary spine and the 8-point story arc.
Draw connectors between beats — flow, cause-and-effect, intercut, visual rhyme — right on the board.
Per-beat durations roll up into reel runtimes and total running time, with pacing targets to keep you honest.
Turn treatments, notes, transcripts, PDFs, and reference images into a first-draft structure — then shape it by hand.
Text outline, two-column A/V script (including Word .docx), and full-board image export.
Invite a collaborator by email and work the same project across your devices, synced to your account.
Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a web app for easy collaboration with partners.
Built and validated on a real documentary workflow, with a neutral core that fits narrative projects too — the vocabulary adapts to your project.
