Everyone has a screenplay somewhere inside him or her. In our case, the damned thing is lodged too close to our left gubernaculums for doctors to operate, but that’s no reason for you not to indulge the aspiring filmmaker in your life with a copy of Final Draft, the standard screenwriting software among indie visionaries and Hollywood hacks alike.
The intuitively structured program yields professionally formatted scripts, treatments and outlines for TV, movie and stage, and facilitates online collaboration with other users. It also offers interactive problem-solving tools and a multivoiced text-to-speech function that lets you conduct live script readings in your underwear. |
