Testimonials

Trusted by production teams

Real coordinators and department leads on how Showbooks fits their workflow.

“Showbooks has completely transformed the way I track and coordinate set decoration departments in film. The software is sleek and user friendly and Lee and Michelle are helpful kind and patient people — anytime I've had an issue, error or question it is returned with professionalism and kindness. I would recommend this program to anyone!”

Bri P.
Set Dec Tracker, Toronto

“I love using Showbooks because everything is already set up and ready to go. When I start a new show, I can jump right in without having to worry about the setup.”

Jade
Coordinator, Vancouver

“Built for the film industry by a film crew. Easily keeps our department budget, spending, and assets with photos on track, all in one program. Having the capacity for multiple users to work on Showbooks together makes ease of inputting multiple streams of spending keeping our budget on track.”

Sonora W.
