The ultimate workflow solution
for unscripted content creators
Everything you need to create better work with less effort: integrated into a single app. Liberate yourself from mundane bureaucracy and turbocharge collaboration with real-time sync and notification. Let your crew focus on doing what they love.
Empowering storytellers to tell great stories
From fireside to cyberspace, we have always shared stories to make sense of the world. Creating unscripted content – bringing important stories to light – is a noble calling but a difficult job.
Managing a project requires production crews to juggle an untidy assortment of unrelated applications. They must repeat manual tasks and monitor multiple information sources to stay up-to-date. This process is time-consuming and error-prone, often resulting in delays, budget overruns, and even legal action.
Showrun changes the game. Everything, for everyone, secure, in one place, in real time, in the palm of your hand.
Stop working with one hand tied behind your back
Production workflow applications are available, but they are all focused on scripted content and have a script-first workflow. For unscripted content, the workflow is reversed, so it demands a bespoke solution. Say hello to Showrun.

Having data scattered between different applications is the source of unscripted production nightmares. With Showrun, you can sleep easy. Everyone becomes an active user, which is especially important when every member of a small production team must adopt multiple roles. The entire team can use the same application for different functions, and all relevant data is shared, so everyone is up to date with everything all the time.
Say goodbye to silos & hello to efficiency
Stay in touch and up to date
Two of the most significant headaches in any production are coordinating communication between different roles and functions and ensuring everyone is up to date. Showrun facilitates instant and constant communication between every member of the team, chat and message functionality is always available, and everyone can work collaboratively across all the tools. Importantly, all notifications are automated and within the app, so no more chasing email trails or scattergun SMS efforts.

Built by and for unscripted content creators
We know your pain. Showrun was founded and developed by a group of unscripted broadcast professionals.
Having developed workflow optimisation solutions adopted by many industry professionals and used by respected broadcasters such as National Geographic, Discovery, Channel News Asia, HBO, Netflix and the BBC, the founders wanted to create the definitive integrated community platform and application for their chosen industry, unscripted content creation.
Working with renowned technology and development partners Microsoft and Futura Tech Labs, Showrun was designed from the ground up to deliver workflow optimisation specifically tailored to the needs of independent creators, freelance professionals, production houses, and broadcasters working with unscripted content.
