Book & script to film, in one click
Hand Eido a manuscript and it comes back a film: scenes broken out in shooting order, characters cast with the looks their author gave them, ready to draw.
1. Ingest the manuscript
Drop in .txt, .md, .pdf, .epub, .fountain, .fdx, .docx. Fountain and Final Draft screenplays are read structurally — no model guessing at what you already wrote.
2. Chapter & scene extraction
Long books are split on chapter breaks and read slice by slice, so a 400-page novel arrives as slug lines, visual action, dramatic beats and the line that matters.
3. Automatic casting
Characters come back with the face, build, hair and wardrobe the author actually described — locked as visual DNA with an optional master model sheet.
4. Straight to the timeline
Approved scenes land in the cutting room as shots with framing, lighting and transitions already varied, cast ids attached for consistency.
Rights, up front
Adapting a public-domain classic is yours to sell. Adapting a book still in copyright is fine for private storyboarding and pitching, but not for distribution — the Festival & Legal Desk scans your cut and tells you which side of that line you are on before you package anything.
