Director-first AI pre-production

Script in.
Storyboard out.

Mona reads your screenplay, proposes the coverage, and draws boards that hold your characters, your style, and your intent — consistent from the first frame to the last.

The board follows the director. Not the other way around.

How it works

01

Start with your screenplay

Upload the script. Mona breaks it into characters, objects, and events, then proposes a shot list — standard, detailed, or concise — constrained to keep your key characters in frame. Every suggestion links back to the source text it came from.

02

Lock the look before you draw

Cast your characters and set their styling up front. Hair, wardrobe, palette — locked before a single panel generates, so frame twelve still looks like the person you cast in frame one.

03

Direct every revision

Fewer cuts. A higher angle. Rack focus to the manuscript. Ask in plain language and Mona redraws the shot while continuity holds across the sequence. You choose what to apply — nothing changes without a director's call.

Watch a scene become a sequence.
