Final Draft is the industry standard.  Includes templates for film, television, and stage.

Scripts submitted to industry professionals are expected to be in this format.

Student discounts available.

Do I need to purchase Final Draft prior to getting a job?

No.  But you will need to either purchase or download free software that will correctly format your scripts.  Scripped, ScriptBuddy, and Zhura are free online programs available for download.  Please note, I have not used these programs and cannot offer an endorsement.  If you have used any of the above software or if can recommend alternative free software, please leave a comment on this post.

Once you are hired as a writer, the studio will provide you with Final Draft on your office computer but not your personal computer.

Please note: Final Draft requires registration, allowing you and only you to use the software you purchased.  In other words, you and six of your classmates cannot purchase one copy of Final Draft with the intention of sharing the CD.  For more information on the software's registration rules, click here.
