Olexiy Kryvych

Co-Founder / CEO

Olexiy Kryvych is a Ukrainian-born film director, writer, and actor based in Austin, TX.

As a working director across narrative films, commercials, branded documentaries, and music videos, he spent years searching for a pre-production tool that truly fit his workflow.

When he couldn’t find one, he decided to build it—partnering with a software architect who shared his vision.

Ivan Shcherbina

Co-Founder / CTO

Ivan Shcherbina is a Ukrainian-born software architect, free-time DP, and entrepreneur based in Austin, TX.

His dual perspective as a software architect and DP allowed him to identify a significant gap in well-designed software for pre-production.

Realizing no existing tool adequately filled this void, he decided to build one—partnering with a film director who shared his vision.
