No more Remakes, Time to Get Scripped!


So far we have covered a student business involved with life sciences, food industry (candy), and education. Today, sKoolBoY Presents Scripped, a website that provides a free script writing software and a venue for writers to sell their scripts to producers all over the country and the world to possibly be used in a feature length or short film.

Site Description:
Scripped offers videos written and produced by the Internet audience. They are a community of over 9,000 writers that have posted nearly 12,000 scripts for both features and web shorts.

sKoolBoY Assessment:
We think this site is interesting and really useful for anybody who is looking to make a video for a class project, a video for their website, and more. The amount of people on this site is impressive. They offer script editing services but they are sort of pricey. Otherwise, this site encourages creativity and is full of creative writing professionals and should be a great website to pool writing talent from in years to come.
