Met the guy who runs Final Draft

Last night, I co-hosted a benefit for The Story Project, a very worthwhile organization that promotes teen literary in Los Angeles. One of the guests was introduced to me as, “This is the guy who runs Final Draft.”

I resisted the urge to tell him how crappy his latest release was, and the discussion on this board. I’m too polite sometimes.

    Final Draft seems to be in the Microsoft habit of justifying constant releases at a constant hundred plus price tag. I think we’ve gotten to a point where we can start paring down features instead of adding them, and making the ones that exist intuitive. Who knows, maybe iScript is in the works over at Apple. Since most writers use Macs, it seems logical they’d release something to complement Final Cut and whatnot.
