About doddle:

doddle is a database of resources for the film and television industry.  Listings include vendors, crew, talent, hospitality, food, film offices, and more across the country, in the UK and soon all over the world.  It is available as an app and as an online directory at http://www.doddleme.com, and industry leaders are beginning to call doddle the "New Bible" for anyone planning a film or television project.  doddlePRO, which debuted at Sundance Film Festival 2011, allows users to create and share patent-pending, digital call sheets using their iPhones, reducing and hopefully ultimately eliminating the amount of paper needed during a film project.
