INDEXFree or Low Cost Software and 'Things' for Filmmakers
1 year, 8 months ago - George Wright
Hello everyone,
Back at Halloween, I posted here looking for help with my writer's block and Shooting People came through! I'm still writing... Which got me thinking...
Do any Shooters use free screenwriting software...?
The software and 'things' we have to purchase to make films add up. My partner is an actress/writer and when you calculate the cost of headshots, Spotlight, Final Draft... 'Things' get expensive, fast.
I thought it would be helpful to start a chat about any free or low-cost software, tools, and events for filmmakers, actors, writers, and *insert filmmaker-type person here*.
Fingers crossed for some good recommendations!
George

For screenwriting software I really like Highland 2 (https://highland2.app) which there is a free version of. And I know people also like Fade In (https://www.fadeinpro.com/page.pl?content=download) which you can also download for free, but I haven't used it. Hope this helps! :)

Great idea George,
I came across Story Architect before Christmas (https://starc.app). I haven't tried it as I'm a Final Drafter but it came recommended from another film list I subscribe to.
