Seamless productions:
How Charthouse Films sped up production with PRODUCER.
Charthouse Films is a versatile production company co-founded by Tommy Anderson. They produce a range of content, from narrative feature films and TV shows to high-profile commercial productions like Super Bowl ads. With a core team of four, they scale up to 50 crew members depending on the project and are committed to continuous growth and innovation in the industry.
Single source of truth
Better communication
Seamless workflow integration
Managing a wide variety of productions, Charthouse Films needed a way to streamline coordination across multiple projects. Anderson highlighted the challenges of juggling different production stages—like moving from pre-production on one project to post-production on another within a single day. This required constant context-switching, which often led to inefficiencies. The team needed a “single source of truth” to centralize all project information, enabling better communication and coordination.
Always on the lookout for tools to enhance their workflow, Charthouse Films tried various software solutions but found none tailored specifically for production companies. At NAB 2023, they discovered PRODUCER, which stood out for its focus on solving real-world production challenges and its potential to unify their workflow.
After meeting the PRODUCER team, Charthouse Films quickly adopted the platform. PRODUCER addressed their key pain points by offering a centralized, easy-to-use interface for managing all production details in real time. The platform’s intuitive design made onboarding new team members, including interns, seamless and fast.
Since adopting PRODUCER, Charthouse Films has significantly improved efficiency, saving at least five hours per week—or over 260 hours annually. The tool has reduced the need for frequent meetings and enhanced team communication, allowing the company to take on more projects and focus on creative work.
“PRODUCER was an easy win for us,” Anderson said. “It integrates seamlessly with our workflow and constantly improves based on user feedback.” Unlike other solutions, PRODUCER is responsive and continually evolving to meet the needs of production companies.
Chartouse Films looks forward to future updates, such as Gantt charts and enhanced collaboration tools, to further optimize their production processes. PRODUCER has become essential for Charthouse Films, helping them save time, streamline workflows, and focus on creating compelling content. “It’s not just about saving time; it’s about enabling our team to work smarter,” Anderson concluded.
