For Student Filmmaker
Student filmmaker software without the student price tag.
For the thesis film, the short, and the festival submission.
You're making your first real film. You don't have £1,000 for software licenses, and the free tools can't keep up with what a thesis committee expects. StoryboardCanvas Hobbyist is £19/mo or Solo £39/mo — every app, every export, every feature — with a yearly plan that fits a student budget.
