What Supernova Media Technologies does

Supernova Media Technologies operates Cinapse, a cloud-based, collaborative production scheduling SaaS targeted at film and television productions. The product is built for Assistant Directors (ADs), Unit Production Managers (UPMs), and Producers, and is positioned as a modern replacement for the legacy Movie Magic Scheduling (MMS) incumbent. Core technical capabilities include real-time multi-user collaboration on a single schedule, offline mode for on-set use, cross-boarding support for episodic and multi-unit productions, automated day-out-of-days (DOOD) logic, and script import from Final Draft, Scriptation, and Writer Duet. The platform also exports to SetHero for call sheet generation and integrates with Wrapbook for an end-to-end scheduling and production-finance workflow.

Cinapse sells through a tiered subscription model — Individual/Freelance (monthly), Team (annual volume-based), and Enterprise (custom) — distributed via a hybrid product-led growth motion (self-serve signup at scheduling.cinapse.io) and enterprise field sales targeting major studios. Marketing emphasizes guild credibility through affiliations with the DGC, AD Guild UK, AIARSE, SAG-AFTRA, Television Academy, and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and a case-study library covering HBO's Euphoria S3, Amazon's The Runarounds, Paramount's Tulsa King S3, FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Syfy's Resident Alien S4, and Apple TV+'s Shrinking. Customer logos include Netflix, Disney, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, NBCUniversal, Paramount+, WBD, Sony Pictures, HBO, FX, and Syfy.

Cinapse has joined the Wrapbook team (TakeOne Network Corp. d/b/a Wrapbook), making Wrapbook the strategic parent and structurally aligning scheduling with production payroll and finance. "Cinapse" is a registered U.S. trademark of TakeOne Network Corp. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, was founded in 2020, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• Yamdu: Cloud-based production management platform offering scheduling, script breakdowns, and asset management for film/TV. Directly comparable end-to-end production workflow alternative for the same vertical.
• ProductionPro (and Show Pro): Production management software aimed at studios and streamers, providing scheduling and production tracking across film and episodic TV — overlapping with Cinapse's studio-grade scheduling footprint.
• Movie Magic Scheduling (Entertainment Partners): The legacy dominant production-scheduling tool for ADs on film/TV productions and Cinapse's primary direct competitor. Cinapse explicitly positions against MMS on its 'Cinapse vs. MMS' comparison page and offers a SetHero JSON migration path from MMS files.
• Celtx: Pre-production suite combining screenwriting, storyboarding, scheduling, and breakdowns. Overlaps with Cinapse in the script-to-schedule workflow that Cinapse addresses via Final Draft/Scriptation integrations.
• StudioBinder: Production management SaaS for film and TV projects with scheduling, call sheets, and breakdowns. Targets the same AD/producer/production-coordinator buyer persona as Cinapse for indie and mid-market productions.

Broad incumbents

• Entertainment Partners: Parent of Movie Magic Scheduling and broader provider of payroll, residuals, and production-management services to Hollywood. Competes with Cinapse indirectly via MMS and with Wrapbook on adjacent production services.
• Final Draft: Industry-standard screenwriting software with adjacent scheduling/pre-production features and a deep Cinapse integration (.FDX import). Competes loosely in the production-prep workflow though its core is screenwriting.

Others

• Scriptation: Script annotation and digital markup tool used by ADs; integrates directly with Cinapse via tag import. An adjacent ecosystem player rather than a competing scheduler, but shares the same AD buyer.
• Wrapbook (TakeOne Network Corp.): Production payroll, finance, and compliance platform that has acquired Cinapse and is its parent. Sister-product within the same corporate parent rather than a market competitor, but defines Cinapse's go-to-market packaging.

Emerging players

• Hive (film & TV production management): Production management suite used on scripted and unscripted TV with scheduling, budgeting, and production tracking. Overlaps Cinapse on episodic production scheduling but is positioned more broadly across production operations.
