FOSS tools like Studio Binder for filmmaking (sopuli.xyz)

Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

Just for the benefit of anyone potentially reading this, it looks like I'll be going for Notion, there are some relevant premade templates to give me a starting point and then I'll adapt it to my specific needs.

It'll still need to be in combination with a scriptwriting tool like trelby or arc and storyboarder for panels but all of these can be uploaded into Notion.

For sure it won't be as elegant or integrated but definitely more flexible/powerful, and well, you can't beat the price tag ;)
