Why SmartSlate is an easy recommendation
A breakdown in about an hour
Upload a PDF or FDX and cast, props, wardrobe, and locations are identified automatically. The slow part of prep, handled.
Everything production needs, in one place
Stripboard, shooting schedule, call sheets, budget, cast and crew directory, reports, and more. No more stitching spreadsheets together.
Crew stays in sync
Call sheets go out live to the whole crew, so nobody is working from a stale PDF.
Your files stay yours
Production software that does not hold your work hostage. That is an easy thing to say to a filmmaker, and they care about it.
How it works
- Apply. Tell us who you are and where you will share SmartSlate. It takes about a minute.
- Get approved. Once approved, you get a personal referral link and your own Affiliate Portal.
- Share your link. Post it, email it, put it in your newsletter or course notes. Anyone who signs up through it is tied to you.
- Earn every month. You earn on the first payment and on every renewal for as long as that customer stays subscribed.

Questions
- How much do I earn?
- You earn 15% of what your referral pays, before tax. That applies to their first payment and to each monthly renewal for as long as they stay subscribed. Single-script purchases earn 15% once.
- How does tracking work?
- When someone clicks your link, we remember you for 60 days. If they create a SmartSlate account in that window, they are tied to you and every payment they make is credited to you.
- When and how do I get paid?
- Commissions show up in your Affiliate Portal as your referrals pay. SmartSlate pays out monthly to the payout details on your account.
- Can I use my own link on my own account?
- No. Purchases made by your own account are not commissioned.
- What happens if a customer is refunded?
- Commissions on a payment that is later refunded may be reversed.
- Do I have to be a SmartSlate customer?
- No. The free demo lets you see the product before you recommend it, and trying it first is the best way to sell it honestly.
- Any rules?
- Promote honestly. Spam or misleading claims can get an account removed.
