I've done background acting a bunch over the years, and this idea came to me that i've been sitting on for like 2 years now because i only like making games.
But now that AI vibe coding exists, it became much more trivial to make this app idea so i made it with my friend in like 3 days in expo.
Basically on every movie tv shoot there are important location like "Holding" "Set" "satellite holding" "bathroom" "crafty", crafty is the snack coffee area that people go to while waiting around for a scene to shoot.
People often ask "Where's crafty" cause sometimes the location can be blocks away if you're in a city for example, or on a different floor, or it even moves around if you shoot in different places, it just depends on the work day.
So this gave me the idea, what if there was an app where you can crowdsource pins on a map representing the locations.
So we made this app, its already live on android and we submitted to ios yesterday and waiting
play.google.com
its free with ads and .99 a month subscription to remove ads.
I have ZERO idea if this will succeed or make any money at all but everyone i mentioned the idea too was like dope.
I'm planning to go to background acting gigs and start promoting the app to background actors.
Lets see how it goes.
I also added a chatbox for each event so background actors can anonymously talk, there so much dead time during a work day i could see people just rambling about things in the chatbox for sure.
