Aeion Production for Feature Films
Feature film productions — theatrical features, 30-120 day shoots, $1M to $300M budgets, full union crew, studio + completion bond reporting — need full lifecycle production management. Aeion covers pre-production through wrap: script breakdown with AI, stripboard scheduling, AICP budgeting, full union compliance (SAG/DGA/IATSE/Teamsters), call sheets + dailies + on-set ops, studio + bond reporting. Hybrid with Movie Magic supported for studio + completion bond acceptance.
