  Every filmmaker has that one shot. The one you sketched out in your head (or in your notebook), and either nailed it perfectly on set… or had to completely change last minute.

  What was the shot, and what happened? Share your story! What went right, what went wrong, and what you learned.

For 25 years, farmerswife has been a trusted tool for media professionals, from independents to seasoned industry veterans, helping them stay organized, manage resources effectively, and keep productions on track.

  If you work in production, post-production, a rental house, broadcast, an audiovisual agency, or an educational institution with media facilities, then farmerswife is your ideal software solution. farmerswife is suitable for any company size. And, if you are a particularly small company, you’ll find the clouded service especially convenient.

Paired with Cirkus, a robust collaboration platform, teams can assign tasks, manage approvals, and communicate in real time, whether on set, in post-production, or working remotely.

  For filmmakers, the goal isn’t just about project management—it’s about freeing up time to focus on creativity, storytelling, and technical excellence rather than being weighed down by administrative hurdles.
