Final Draft 14 to Require Password from Famous Relative to Activate
From a bush outside of Cast & Crew HQ in Burbank, I can now confirm that Final Draft 14, the latest version of the popular screenwriting software, will require a password from a famous relative to activate. The change comes on the heels of a contracting Hollywood, which can only support so many working writers. Head of PR for Final Draft, Tommy Kraft, confirmed the new direction for the software that has long been a staple for Hollywood writers.
“We’re changing the world of screenwriting with Final Draft 14,” Kraft said in a recent panel, in front of numerous eager writers looking for their path in. “With less opportunities and more noise than ever, we need to find a way to ensure that the best scripts from emerging artists are being read. That’s why we’re limiting access to the app to those who have a code from a famous relative.”
Kraft then went into detail about how the new policy works and how it would affect older versions of the software.
“Those interested simply pay us two-thousand dollars. Then we ask for the email address and any socials of anyone who may be a famous relative. We then vet that person, and if they meet our standards, we send them a code that they then send to you. See. Super easy,” Kraft said to a room that slowly started to empty. “Anyone using older versions of Final Draft can still access their scripts but will not be able to export them as a PDF without a code provided by a famous relative.”
Those who remained in the audience started to boo Kraft and Final Draft for this latest update. Kraft did not take too kindly to their criticism.
“You all sound like you have some axe to grind,” Kraft said hiding behind the podium as the crowd started throwing things at him. “It’s not like exclusive access makes those connected writers better at writing. Sure, they have more at-bats, but they still have to get on base like everyone else. Maybe you should spend less time complaining about how the industry works and more time getting famous relatives to help elevate your work.”
At press time Kraft was met with more boos after announcing that Final Draft 14 users would no longer be able to bold sluglines. The bush I hid in for this scoop was a Courier Shrub.
