How Sarke Studio Streamlined Global Production with Filmustage

In the fast-paced world of international filmmaking, precision, speed, and creative freedom are everything. For Sarke Studio, a powerhouse production company with more than two decades of experience, that balance has always been part of their DNA. 

Based in Georgia, Sarke Studio has built a global reputation, developing and producing over 30 international features, series, and shorts, along with 800+ commercials and music videos across ten territories — including the US, UK, China, India, and Australia.

Their secret? An exceptional international team of producers, financiers, line producers, and production managers — and a deep commitment to storytelling, no matter the scale or setting.

But even with all that experience, they’re no strangers to the challenges that come with production: breaking down scripts manually, juggling tight deadlines, and coordinating logistics across continents.

In 2021, Sarke Studio discovered Filmustage — and what started as a test quickly became a core part of their workflow.

“The very, very first time that I used that, I and most of my colleagues just fell in love with it,” says Irakli Chikvaidze, managing partner at Sarke.
“It changed the whole habit. I’m not reading the scripts anymore — I just import them into the software and read while breaking it down.”

For Irakli and his team, Filmustage didn’t just save time — it transformed how they work. What used to take three people and four or five days — delivering a full production package with a script breakdown, schedule, budget, and location presentation — now takes one person and just two days, with the same quality.

Each card is a production brought in as a script file and broken down in place — schedule, budget, and location presentation generated from the same source. It's the setup behind the numbers above: one person and two days, instead of three people and most of a week. Still from the short film shot in Georgia.
“It took at least three persons working four or five days... Now it takes one person, maximum two days to deliver all of that together and still have the same result.”

But beyond efficiency, what stood out most was what that saved time enabled.

“Filmustage is doing an excellent solution to save a lot of the time that can be used just to enjoy the life.

That balance — between modern tools and meaningful living — is exactly why Filmustage was created.

Conversations like this one are how the roadmap actually gets shaped: line producers and production managers telling us what still eats their week, and what a tool should quietly take off their plate.

We built Filmustage by filmmakers, for filmmakers. Not to replace the human side of storytelling, but to support it — to give creators more time, more focus, and more creative freedom.
