History
According to Final Draft's website, co-founders Ben Cahan and Marc Madnick developed the software in 1991 to help aspiring screenwriters because they found that studios' rigid formatting regulations made screenwriting difficult. In February 2016, the company was purchased by Cast & Crew Entertainment Services.
Usage
The program is a screenwriting software for writing and formatting a screenplay to meet the screenplay submission standards set by theater, television and film industries. The program can also be used to write documents such as stageplays, outlines, treatments, query letters, novels, graphic novels, manuscripts, and basic text documents.
