DW Griffith filmed the first movie in Hollywood in 1910. He standardized camera techniques like the close up. Do you now what other cinematic groundbreaking credits he earned?

While deliverables are being gathered, this tool keeps it organized and will create the manifest (inventory and download links) that can be shared with your distributor.

Even in 1915, wrapping the film wasn't the finish line. Posters, title cards, credits — someone still had to pull it all together before it could actually go out into the world.

Some things about finishing a film haven't changed in over a century. Smart Deliver just makes it faster.

Delivery is the part of filmmaking nobody really talks much about. We’re the storytellers and we've spent months, sometimes years, of planning, shooting, editing, fixing, pushing, and believing. We're thinking about the cut, the festival and the premiere. That's what excites us.

As filmmakers, we have to do the super boring stuff, too. We've got to get that film sold so we can make enough to pay back the investors and hope the deal we make will be fruitful with profits. The delivery is tedious.

The distributor or platform has a long list specs of what they require and it needs to be in the right format. We can't just “send the movie file.” The paperwork and all the deliverables must be in order. Some filmmakers wait until the very end to gather deliverables. Others collect and organize them as they work through the entire process.

What's your process and have you ever had delivery slow down a deal, festival submission, or platform handoff? Share your story.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Our development team has been working hard behind the scenes, and we just released a MAJOR SmartSlate Suite enhancement. You're going to LOVE it.

We added a new module for filmmakers called Smart Deliver. It's easy to package the deliverables and if SmartSlate Suite was used during any stage of production, information will flow into the module, cutting down on data entry. It's a time saver, for sure. Smart Deliver tracks things that usually get scattered at the end — like masters, textless files, trailers, captions, artwork, contracts, QC notes, rights entries, and delivery requirements.

The SmartSlate Suite is connected!! One software platform designed to flow from script, to shoot, to post and to delivery. When a film is finally finished, the last thing anyone wants to do is chase the same details in five different places. Right?

It’s 2026. Production tools should talk to each other.
