A reference database for filmmakers
FrameThrower is a fully machine-searchable film database and visual reference library — all 130 frames from Charles Ludlam's 2 films, and 5,000+ films besides, indexed frame by frame and readable by AI. Search it in plain language, from a reference image, or by colour; call it from an API, an MCP server or an SDK. It's the reference layer for making the next movie.
