With version 0.4.0 we announced the availability of industry standard formatting in Scrite. While much of the screenplay was generated in standard format, the title page (or cover page as some people call it) was lagging behind. With version 0.4.5 Beta, we have now addressed that.

Director Adarsh Eshwarappa of Shuddhi and Bhinna fame is conducting an online workshop on writing Screenplays, spread across 5 evenings, starting from July 13 2020.

One consistent feedback we received from many of the early adopters of Scrite, who are professional screenplay writers themselves, was this: Scrite must support industry standard formatting. Infact our mentors: Director Abhaya Simha & Director Adarsh Eshwarappa were also suggesting that we start focusing on industry standard formatting. Writer & director Sudarshan (FB Link), who […]
