Introducing Stuvelo: A Filmmaker CRM With Client Portal and Proposals

Small video and film studios still duct-tape a CRM, a proposal PDF, a review link, and Stripe — then lose status in the gaps. Stuvelo is a CRM built for filmmakers: pipeline, projects, shot lists, proposals, a client review portal, and Stripe invoicing on one honest price.

What Stuvelo does

Stuvelo is studio ops software for people who shoot for clients:

• Pipeline and projects — contacts, jobs, and milestones without a generic sales CRM
• Shot lists and production context — keep creative planning next to the commercial record
• Proposals and PDF export — send scope and pricing clients can accept without email ping-pong
• Client review portal — branded-enough presentation of progress and deliverables
• Stripe invoicing — collect payment in the same workspace as the job

Who it is for

Freelance filmmakers and small video studios who need client-to-cash ops — not an enterprise agency suite.

Where it fits in a content stack

Stuvelo owns studio business operations. Showreels and social still win the job; Stuvelo is how proposals, portals, and invoices stay attached to the same project.

Quick tips if you try Stuvelo

1. Load rate cards / packages before sending the first proposal.
2. Invite clients to the portal early so status questions drop.
3. Use milestones that match how you invoice (deposit → rough cut → final).
4. Export CSV when you need a finance or reporting handoff.
5. Email matt@stuvelo.com for product questions.

If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when the job is teaching a process. Keep Stuvelo as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
