Find out what's accurate, what's close enough, and what's wrong before you shoot it.

Details matter, and Tearline makes sure you get them right. We help you maintain authenticity throughout the entire process, so the end product holds up.

Send a script

Built on real military experience, not a general sense of how it looks.

The value is knowing where a script is right, where it isn't, and being able to say so plainly before the camera rolls, not after the reviews come in.

"The radio call in this scene would never happen on an open channel. Swap it for standard brevity code."
"This exchange between the two soldiers reads too formal. That's not how they'd actually talk to each other, even with an officer in the room."
"Keep this as written. It's more accurate than most produced military films get, so don't over-correct it."

What's covered

Script review

A line-by-line pass on rank, procedure, radio comms, and tactics, plus how people actually talk and behave in uniform. Notes flag what's accurate, what's close enough, and what will pull a viewer out of the story.

On-set advisory

Present through shoot days for movement, weapons handling, radio traffic, and blocking, so what ends up on camera reads as an operation rather than a rehearsal, without slowing the production down.

Technical consulting

Pre-production input on unit structure, insignia, equipment, and whether the plan makes sense, down to the small operational nuances that separate a real setup from a prop one.
