FREE pre production software for Indie Filmmakers

Not only is the software FREE, but it's easy to use and great!

Integrated Media Pre-Production for: Film, Theater, AV, Audio, Comics

First, it correctly formats your screenplay into a professional standard (allowing you at the click of a button to create a .pdf format or a word format) and it allows you to format your screenplay for the theater.

In addition to helping you correctly format your work, it will upload and organize storyboards as well as create schedules and callsheets. I first started singing its praises and using CELTX two and a half years ago and the latest version of this great and easy-to-use program is better than ever. Iy's available for FREE as a download.

Throw away whatever you had to pay for; CELTX will also let you share your work with co-writers and/or collaborators over the Internet. Since I've had great results working with writing partners, I can't help but give this a solid two thumbs up.

Celtx is the world's first all-in-one media pre-production software. It has everything you need to take your story from concept to production. Celtx replaces 'paper, pen & binder' pre-production with a digital approach that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share.

3 Common Film Script Errors

The number one offender is: The film’s central idea isn’t good enough.

How can you know for certain if you’ve got a weak central idea for a film?

Actually, this is a simple question to answer. Ask yourself the following question, "Is there one visual image that sums up the movie, a great ten word tagline and a hundred words of text that can sell the story?"

You’d be amazed at how many people don’t even look at this issue until their film is in the can. Most people also have very weak sale’s pitches. If you can’t persuade someone to rent your movie based on a DVD cover image and a hundred words, then it stands to reasoon that your central film concept isn’t strong enough. To take it a step further, your cover image has to be strong enough to persuade someone to read the one hundred words.
