Have you ever wanted to write a screenplay but been
held back because of the fact that screenplay writing
software is EXPENSIVE?
In order to get ANYbody to look at your screenplay, it
has to be formatted correctly. There are conventions
for character dialogue and for screen directions, there
are conventions for headers and footers ... and if you
don't have them right, industry insiders will just
throw your masterpiece onto the scrap heap without even
reading the first line.
There are dozens of screenplay writing software
packages that will help you do the job. Problem is many
of them are too expensive for someone who just wants to
give it a try. For example, Final Draft sells for
$200US, Dramatica Pro sells for up to $269US.
So blow me AWAY when Johnny C. Johnson of Mindstar
Productions contacted me with the news that Mindstar is
GIVING AWAY their formatting software for FR>>EE $0.00
Nadda Nothing. This is a FULLY FUNCTIONAL program.
No trial, no downgraded functions. The FULL meal deal.
Why are they giving it away? "Because we are in the
business of making productions work, and without a
script, there's often no production!"
GO for it. Get it now. These guys are nuts and may
soon realize it and start charging.

ENJOY ... and tell Johnny that I sent you!
