Gorilla 11 adds powerful new tools for screenplay import, AI-assisted breakdowns, scheduling, reports, budgeting, call sheets, and production workflow. This release is designed to help filmmakers, producers, assistant directors, production managers, and film schools move more clearly from script to schedule to budget.
Included with Gorilla Premium, Breakdown Assistant AI helps automatically tag imported screenplays using OpenAI. It is designed to suggest production elements while keeping the user in control of what gets accepted into the breakdown.
Gorilla 11 improves Final Draft screenplay import with scene summary support, styled screenplay display, better color-coding, and full dual dialogue support.
Scene summaries from Final Draft can now be imported into Gorilla, helping production teams carry more useful screenplay information into scheduling.
The screenplay display now supports imported text styling such as underline, bold, italics, and colors, making imported screenplay content clearer and more useful.
Gorilla 11 now supports dual dialogue import and displays dual dialogue properly in the screenplay display.
Color-coding in the screenplay display has been improved for a more accurate and readable breakdown workflow.
Cast Members and Background Actors can now be tagged as V.O., O.S., or Non-Speaking. This gives productions more control over how performers appear on reports such as DOOD reports and call sheets.
Create short names for Elements, Actors, and Crew records so they display more cleanly on call sheets and other reports.
Import the screenplay display from another schedule into a current schedule, helping preserve work across related schedules and versions.
Quickly create Location records based on the Set field in Breakdown Sheets. This is useful for creating location placeholders before final locations are confirmed.
Used with Password Lock, you can now hide a schedule or budget in the Dashboard for additional project organization and privacy.
Restore a saved Excel file to the Stripboard, giving productions another way to recover or rebuild stripboard work.
Lock a schedule or budget with a password to help protect important production information.
Change all currency in a budget to another currency, making it easier to adjust a budget for different production or international needs.
For budgets using multiple currencies, select Reverse Base Currency on a single line to leave the entered rate as-is instead of converting it.
Run a DOOD report on an element and import total days worked into a linked budget, helping connect scheduling assumptions to budget planning.
When budgeting before final casting, create placeholder actor records for one or all not-yet-cast characters so early budgets can be more realistic.
Gorilla 11 is not just a feature checklist. It is a workflow upgrade. Screenplay import is more complete, breakdown work is more connected, scheduling reports are more flexible, budgeting has better production tools, and Gorilla Premium adds AI-assisted breakdown support.
For producers, assistant directors, production managers, and film schools, the goal is simple: make pre-production clearer, faster, and easier to manage from the first screenplay import through the final production reports and budget.
Display a third row, Row C, on the Stripboard to show additional scene information and give your schedule more visible detail.
Select multiple elements and delete them all at once, instead of removing one element at a time.
If you delete a breakdown sheet, you can use Undo to restore it along with the scheduled elements attached to it.
Increase or decrease an entire budget by a percentage, making broad budget adjustments faster and easier.
Select multiple accounts at the Account level of a budget and perform actions such as Delete, Move, or Copy.
Customize and print a Crew Deal Memo based on Gorilla’s crew deal memo template.
When tagging an element on screen, choose to tag that element globally across all scenes where the same phrase appears in the screenplay.
In addition to running Fringe and Global reports, export Fringes and Globals to an external file such as Excel.
Build breakdown sheets, create stripboards, manage production elements, organize shoot days, and generate reports.
Create film budgets, manage accounts, globals, fringes, currencies, reports, expenses, and production cost planning.
Use Scheduling and Budgeting together for a stronger script-to-schedule-to-budget production workflow.
