About Us  
   
Final Draft, Inc. was founded in 1991 to develop a scriptwriting program that allows the writer to concentrate on the creative process and not on Hollywood's stringent formatting rules. Since then, Final Draft software has become the Hollywood professional's choice and the world's number-one selling scriptwriting program for film, television and theatre.  Final Draft, Inc. also publishes Final Draft AV, the only dedicated multi-column script processor specifically designed for writing commercials, corporate videos, documentaries, presentations and DV shorts, to name a few.
 

Script magazine was founded in 1989 as a four page newsletter and by 1995 it was an expansive, eclectic publication found on all major-market newsstands.  A popular online community was established shortly thereafter, followed by a prestigious contest and script coverage service.

In September of 2006, Final Draft, Inc., acquired Script magazine with the goal of making the publication and its ancillary services even larger and more successful.  The mission of both companies, now joined as one independent company, has always been the same:  To educate, advance and celebrate the scriptwriter with a suite of offerings that includes software, services, publications and events.

The company's headquarters is in Calabasas, California and maintains an East Coast office near Baltimore, MD.
