From first draft to industry discovery — all in one platform.
A complete indie cinematographer's handbook — 8 chapters covering light, lenses, exposure, movement, color, sound, budget filmmaking, and on-set workflow, plus an interactive viewfinder tool. Free for everyone.
Generate tailored pitch documents for specific executives using your script as context. Answer a few questions about the meeting and get a polished, personalized pitch you can export to PDF — Pro and Team only.
Build your industry rolodex with names, titles, and companies. Mark contacts as pitch contacts to auto-fill the Pitch Wizard — no more retyping executive details for every meeting.
Develop your script from idea to structured plan. Choose a structural technique — three-act, hero's journey, Save the Cat, and more — then get a development guide with TODO markers to fill in. Export to PDF for printing. Pro and Team only.
Join themed groups like Horror Writers or Dialogue Workshop. Post discussions, comment with nested replies, and upvote the best insights. Create or moderate your own group — open to all plans.
Producers create company profiles with credits and filmography. Browse published scripts, contact writers directly, and build your production network — all from one platform.
Actors build portfolio profiles with headshots, physical characteristics, and experience. Casting directors browse and filter actors on Discover to find the perfect fit for any role.
Leave star ratings and reviews for actors and producers you've worked with. Build trust in the community with verified feedback, relationship context, and project credits.
Message any writer or actor directly by @handle. Privacy controls let you choose who can reach you — allow all, approve first contact, or whitelist only. Conversations auto-expire after 15 days.
Publish your screenplay with a poster, synopsis, genre tags, and cast. Browse scripts and actor profiles on Discover — producers find their next project, writers find their cast.
Share any script with other Pro or Team users by email. Grant read or edit access to up to 10 collaborators per project — no team required.
Save named snapshots before a big rewrite or table read. Restore any version to your current draft, preview it read-only, or export it as FDX. Up to 20 versions per project — Pro and Team only.
Kanban-style board to track story beats, production tasks, or revision status. Drag cards between custom status columns.
Locations are auto-detected from scene headings — both when typing in the editor and when creating scenes from the outline. Add address details with Google Places autocomplete, photos, and notes.
Plan every camera shot organized by scene. Choose shot type, movement, lens, and priority — then export a print-ready PDF for your crew. Available on all plans.
Catalog every prop with photos, descriptions, and scene associations. Generate a print-ready props list for production.
Build a visual inspiration board with images and color palettes to define the look and feel of your project.
Select any text in the script and attach a note directly to that passage. Track TODOs, research, and feedback by scene position.
Invite your writing room with role-based access. Manage members and their permissions from the team dashboard. Share projects with read or edit access per collaborator.
Drafthouse is fully available in English, Spanish, and French. Switch languages anytime from your account settings.
Track cast details, backstories, arcs, and relationships. Cast members are auto-detected as you write and extracted automatically when importing a script. Dialogue counts updated on save.
Jump between scenes instantly. Drag-and-drop beat board lets you reorder scenes — changes sync to the editor automatically. Create new scenes directly from the outline with location auto-detection.
Export to PDF with perfect formatting or Final Draft (.fdx). Import existing FDX files — cast and locations are automatically extracted and added to your project.
Press Tab to cycle through screenplay elements. Enter creates the logical next element. Writing flows naturally.
Automatic screenplay formatting with proper margins, fonts, and element styles. Courier Prime 12pt, just like the pros.

What writers say
“I love the discover feature, producers and others can see the logline of my scripts and perhaps get people interested on producing it”
