INT. PROJECTION BOOTH - NIGHT

The reel spins. Light flickers across DANIEL's face, sixty and tired.

Industry-standard formatting, done for you

Enter moves you to the next element. Tab changes it, and a forward slash brings up every element by name. Character names finish themselves and CONT'D goes in for you.

What writers are saying

The features are AMAZING! The way the system picks up on different locations, characters etc makes not only the writing process bliss, but also will make the lives of the producer and crew 1000x easier when pulling the script apart.

Alice Shuttleworth

Writers Room beta tester

I normally use Final Draft and have done for years. I liked the layout and found it easy to read and adjust. The chart at the side which automatically lists cast and scenes is very handy, especially for production.

Your script, protected

Your script is private to you until you invite someone, and it is never read by AI.

Who can open it

  • You
  • Co-writers and commenters you invite
  • Readers you invite, with their name across the pages unless you turn it off
  • Your production's team, read-only, if you attach the script to it

Who never can

  • AI of any kind
  • The public or anyone you haven't invited
  • Anyone you remove loses access straight away
  • FILMD staff. No staff screen shows your script, and database access is limited to our technical team and recorded in our database's audit log

Encrypted

In transit, and at rest by our database and storage providers.

Backed up

Every saved version is copied to a second, separate store.

Authorship log

Every version, who saved it and when, to support your copyright.

Never lose a word

Lose your connection and your words wait safely in your browser.

Your copyright

Everything you write stays yours. Download it any time as PDF, Final Draft or Fountain.

Never read by AI

FILMD never sends your script to any AI service and never uses it to train AI.

And everything else a script needs

  • Find and replace
  • Scene navigator
  • Revision marks
  • Notes that readers never see and never print
  • Running time as you write
  • A proper cover page
  • Dual dialogue
  • Scene numbers
  • Page counts in eighths
  • A4 or US Letter page breaks
