# Filmustage CEO Egor Dubrovsky on Using AI to Modernize Script Breakdown and Pre-Production

_Tool · published 2023-08-01_

In an exclusive interview with SafetyDetectives, Filmustage co-founder and CEO Egor Dubrovsky traces the origin of his AI-powered pre-production platform to an unlikely catalyst: being stranded in the US after a burglary, which led him to work on Netflix and Amazon pilot productions firsthand. On set, he observed that script breakdown workflows were still largely analog — pen, paper, and piles of scripts — and set out to automate them with machine learning.

Dubrovsky describes Filmustage as an all-in-one platform that accelerates script breakdown, scheduling, and call sheet generation while integrating with industry-standard tools like Movie Magic Scheduling and Final Draft. He is careful to frame AI as augmenting, not replacing, the human creative process — a consistent theme throughout the interview as he addresses ethical questions about AI's growing role in filmmaking.
