Murphy

Murphy is an AI operating system purpose-built for film pre-production. Instead of juggling disconnected spreadsheets, documents and departmental silos, filmmakers upload a screenplay and Murphy instantly generates a living production plan that links every creative and logistical element together. The platform reads the script and produces a working production package: a schedule that respects cast availability and magic hour, a budget a completion bond officer would approve, crew tiers aligned with assistant director standards, locations scouted with flight paths and HVAC noise flagged, props tracked with continuity multipliers, and storyboards that maintain face consistency. When any single element is modified, all related components recalculate and update automatically. Murphy’s core capability is holding the entire production picture in one place. It replaces the mental overhead that experienced ADs, line producers and UPMs traditionally carry by giving them a single source of truth. The system encodes working-set knowledge—such as how departments interact, what contingencies matter, and how changes cascade—so that the production plan remains coherent as conditions evolve. The workflow begins with screenplay ingestion. Murphy parses the script to extract scenes, characters, locations, props and special requirements. It then builds an interconnected model where scheduling constraints feed into budget calculations, location availability affects scene order, and cast conflicts ripple through the call sheet. Users can adjust any parameter—swap a location, add a stunt, change an actor’s availability—and the system propagates the impact across schedules, budgets, crew calls and asset lists without manual reconciliation. Benefits include eliminating version-control errors, reducing the time needed to produce bonded schedules and budgets, preventing costly location or equipment conflicts, and allowing department heads to see real-time downstream effects of their requests. Productions using Murphy enter principal photography with confidence that logistics have been vetted against real-world constraints. The product is currently running on paid pilots with leading global production houses, including an Oscar-winning producer’s team, on titles scheduled for 2027 release. It is designed for working filmmakers who serve as 1st ADs, line producers, UPMs and studio production executives, and it is open for broader feedback from the filmmaking community.
