Your first money conversations, made easier.

You don't need to be a finance expert.

Most filmmakers start out knowing how to make a film, not how to put a deal together, and that's completely normal. The paperwork around money (investor agreements, sales agent contracts, investor updates) is usually learned the hard way. Screen Deal Suite turns it into simple, guided steps you can work through at your own pace, with plain-English notes beside everything.

So, what is it exactly?

Screen Deal Suite lives in Notion, a free and easy-to-use app for notes and documents. After you buy, you copy the whole suite into your own Notion with one click. From then on it's yours: fill it in, change it, and use it on every film you make. There's nothing to install and nothing to learn first.

Four tools, one for each step.

1. 1

   Investment Agreement: your starting point when someone wants to invest.

   When a friend, family member or investor offers money, you need it in writing. This gives you a complete agreement to start from, with a plain-English note under every clause explaining what it means and why it's there. Each investor gets their own copy with one click, and your lawyer reviews a ready draft instead of starting from scratch, which saves you time and fees.

2. 2

   Investment Agreement Review: a user-friendly checklist for any agreement you're sent.

   If an investor hands you their own contract, work through it one clause at a time. For each of the 25 clauses, the checklist tells you what good looks like, what to ask, and what to watch out for. At the end you get a simple score and a short list of questions to take to your lawyer.

3. 3

   Investor Reporting: easy updates that keep investors on your side.

   The people who back your film want to hear from you, even when things don't go to plan. Six fill-in-the-blanks templates, from a weekly shoot update to a year-end letter, with colour-coded status panels, turn updates into minutes of work rather than evenings. Good updates are how you earn support for your next film.

4. 4

   Sales Agent Vetting: choose the right partner to sell your film.

   A sales agent sells your film to distributors around the world, often for many years. This checklist walks you through 41 simple questions in eight areas and rates each answer Green, Amber or Red. It then compares the agents you're considering side by side, so you can choose with confidence.

See a finished version first.

Every tool comes with a completed example, so you're never staring at a blank page. Follow The Long Dark, a fictional indie feature, from Week 4 of its shoot to its first year-end investor letter, along with a fully vetted sales agent and a reviewed investor agreement. You can look through all of it for free before you buy.

Ready in three easy steps.

1. 1. Buy once: A$14.99 at launch (usually A$19.99) through Paddle's secure checkout, about the price of a movie ticket. There's no subscription.

Built for indie filmmakers raising real money.

Whether it's your first short, your first feature, or a low-budget film with a few investors on board, Screen Deal Suite is built for where you are now, and it grows with you, film after film.

Want to understand the “why” too?

Each tool pairs with a chapter of Walk In Ready — The Indie Filmmaker’s Finance Playbook, which explains the thinking behind it in plain language. When you're ready to plan your budget and finances, you can try every loqyn tool free for 14 days, with no card needed.
