Good to know

  • Contact details stay in the project on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
  • Day Out of Days is built from the cast and the schedule.

Characters come from the screenplay and the Breakdown. Availability and locations feed schedule warnings, and call sheets fill in cast, crew and places from here.
