Itihasa Collective
Secure, IP-protected script collaboration for filmmakers
Led 1 dev, 1 product
Worked with 5 film-industry SMEs · 150+ community users
Invite-only Community platform
Encrypted Access-controlled sharing
No-code Built on Bubble
TL;DR
- Filmmakers were sharing scripts over WhatsApp and email, an IP breach waiting to happen; built them an invite-only, access-controlled home
- Key decision: built on Bubble (no-code), two months to launch versus an eight-month traditional engineering estimate
- Shipped April 2024: encrypted script management, an opportunities board, and an admin review console
The problem
Filmmakers share sensitive screenplays over WhatsApp and email, exposing IP to theft and plagiarism. No secure, traceable collaboration platform exists for the industry.
Goal
Build an invite-only platform with IP protection, encrypted document management, and a collaboration layer for the filmmaking ecosystem.
Outcome
Launched on Bubble. Encrypted access-controlled sharing, script versioning, feedback loops, and an opportunity board for community members.
