The creative view.Curated by your location team.

The CINERA Client Portal gives directors, DPs, and producers access to exactly what they need — curated location galleries, interactive maps, and shoot day monitoring — without the operational clutter of the full production system.

Your Location Manager controls what you see. You focus on the creative decisions. Available on web and iOS.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

The Client Portal is intentionally focused — your location team curates what appears here, so you're always looking at the right locations at the right stage.

Curated Location Gallery

Browse the locations your Location Manager has prepared for review. Full photo galleries, location details, classifications, and notes — organized and ready for your feedback.

Interactive Location Map

See all locations plotted on a map. Understand geography, proximity to base camp, travel times, and spatial relationships between locations across your shoot schedule.

Discuss

Comment directly on locations and send messages to your location team. Keep all location-specific feedback in one place — no email threads, no lost context.

On-Site Monitoring

Live weather conditions, camera feeds, and environmental monitoring for key locations — streamed directly to your client view on shoot day. Know what's happening before you arrive.

iOS App

The full Client Portal experience on iPhone — offline-capable location browsing, map navigation, and messaging. Built for on-location use, not just the office.

Code-Based Access

Join with a unique client code from your Location Manager — no account creation required. Access is scoped to your production only. Your team controls what you can see.

Built for creative decision-makers

How access works

The Client Portal is invitation-only. Your Location Manager creates a client access code and shares it with you. Enter that code at cinera.ca/client/join — no account creation, no password to remember.

Access is scoped to a single production. You see only what your Location Manager has approved for client review — the full location database remains private to the production team.

The iOS app is available for download once you have an active client code. Your Location Manager can invite you directly from their Manager dashboard.
