Professional Motion Picture Production and Distribution NEWS

(New York, NY)-- ScreenStyle.com launched Final Draft 8 to its customers in over 50 countries. Final Draft 8 is the latest version of the top-selling screenwriting software, used widely by thousands of writers including Oscar-winning screenwriters and Broadway playwrights.

Joe Mefford, President of ScreenStyle.com, premiered Final Draft 8 at the Apple Store in New York City to an audience of filmmakers and screenwriters that included Marc Madnick, President of Final Draft, Inc.

"Our customers are always looking for new tools to improve their screenwriter and prepare their scripts for production, " said Joe Mefford. " The new features in Final Draft 8 are really exciting for both the writers who create the screenplay and the production companies that turn the words into action."

Final Draft 8 for Windows and Macintosh has several new and improved features such as the Scene Properties Inspector, Scene Navigator, and Scene View. These new tools make it easier than ever for a beginning or professional screenwriter to brainstorm, outline, and develop story ideas before ever writing Fade In.

For example, the Scene View feature gives writers the ability to look at their screenplay's scenes and select, drag, or drop to organize and reorganize ideas. Writers can now easily insert scenes and hide or show important information such as action, title, and summary. Scene View also displays a scene's color so the writer can quickly identify from one scene from another.

Final Draft 8 has also introduced a new FDX file format that integrates with other filmmaking and screenwriting applications such as scheduling and budgeting software, storyboarding software, and editing tools.

Final Draft 8 has a suggested retail price of $249.95 and is available now at ScreenStyle.com. Registered users of Final Draft 7 can purchase an upgrade for just $79.95. Additional discounts are available for college students and active members of the military. Screenshots, an overview, and a demo for both the Mac and Windows versions, are also available at ScreenStyle.com.
