Astheris builds the software that carries a film’s decisions from prep through the shoot and into post, so nobody types the same thing twice and nobody asks the same question twice. The machines carry the admin. The people keep the craft.
We save productions money while preserving their creativity and artistry, and we honor SAG’s existing rules on AI. We build and run the system. That is why a small team can serve many titles at once.
This industry is not dying of money. It is dying of heart.
Astheris is a friendship between the artist and the AI, where both know where they stand and what becomes possible together. Only artistry can build that.
The team
Fronted by an artist. Built by engineers.
Astheris is led by someone who has spent her life on set, and built by engineers who measure before they claim. That crossover is the point: people who know what a day of shooting really costs, working with people who can build the thing that gives those days back.
