Testimonials
"At Flying Chaucer Films we started using Gorilla in version one mainly for its robust accounting module. That's right, accounting - most of the focus with Gorilla tends to be on the Budgeting and Scheduling functions and the keen integration between all of the modules, but for tracking expenses during production we find Gorilla indispensable."
- B. Gary, Flying Chaucer Films
"Gorilla is an excellent budgeting, scheduling and management tool that really feels like it was designed for the independent filmmaker."
- AVMedia Resources
"It's nice to know someone is listening. The latest release of Gorilla Pro has a lot of flexibility, with a learning curve that even a micro-budget auteur can understand."
- Movie Maker Magazine
"A must-have if you are a microcinema producer and plan to work on more than one film. It is fairly easy to learn and actually helps you when you get stuck. It is a tremendous organizational tool that will repeatedly prove its worth."
- MicroFilmmaker Magazine
"It's a sophisticated package that will make the task of scheduling your movie a lot easier."

"I'm an independent producer/director in the midst of my first feature-length project, and without Gorilla software, our production would be absolutely lost. Having everything at my fingertips - from budgeting to scheduling to storyboards to contact info - allows me, laptop in hand, to answer every question posed, at the moment it is asked, which saves valuable time. No more rustling through pages of disorganized notebooks; no more accessing muliple programs just to coordinate one simple shoot; and no more struggling to work within the two aspects of my job: the creative and the organizational. Gorilla marries the two in perfect harmony. In the ever-morphing digital-fueled world of filmmaking, Gorilla is an indie's best friend. Rock on!"
