Screen financials, re-engineered

From target spend to investor-ready finance plan — one platform, always in sync.

Most independent filmmakers manage a film's finances across four or five disconnected documents. A budget in one tool. A finance plan in a spreadsheet. A cashflow somewhere else. Every update creates a new inconsistency somewhere.

loqyn connects every piece. Budget → Finance Plan → Cashflow → Drawdown → Recoupment → Waterfall — one source of truth, updated in real time. Built for independent filmmakers, not studio accountants.

The problem

Your budget is finished. Your investors have questions your budget can't answer.

Independent filmmakers spend weeks building a budget — then discover the tools that helped them build it have nothing to say about the Finance Plan, the Cashflow, the Recoupment Forecast, or the Waterfall. The conversation investors actually need to have.

The result: a polished budget, four separate spreadsheets, and a 9 am investor call with documents that don't quite match each other.

  • Version chaos

    Budget_Final_v4_ACTUAL_USE_THIS.xlsx. Everyone has a copy. Nobody is certain theirs is current.

  • Disconnected documents

    Budget. Finance Plan. Cashflow. Recoupment. Four files, built separately, updated separately, never quite in sync.

  • The question you dread

    "Can you walk me through the Waterfall?" Every independent producer has faced it — or lies awake hoping not to.

Built by producers, for producers

loqyn was built by producers who know what it costs to manage a film's finances without the right tools.

Not the cost in time — though that's real. The cost of sitting across from an investor at 9am knowing that the documents you sent three days ago might not reflect last week's changes. The cost of calling wrap and knowing, before you've even opened the spreadsheet, that there isn't enough money left to finish post. The cost of managing other people's money with tools that were never built to help you do it properly.

We built loqyn to change that. One platform. Every output connected. Every number current. So when an investor asks — and they will ask — you already have the answer.
