Press Release: Innovative Startup SoCreate Revolutionizes Screenwriting with Groundbreaking Software

San Luis Obispo, CA – SoCreate, the trailblazing software company based at Cal Poly State University's Technology Park, unveils its industry-transforming tool, SoCreate Writer today. This cloud-based application equips writers at all levels with the tools to transform their story ideas into fully realized scripts for film, TV, and short stories.

For too long, writers have been grappling with outdated and complex screenwriting software that often hinders creativity and results in writer's block. In response to this, SoCreate founder Justin Couto, himself a former aspiring screenwriter, saw the need for an intuitive and user-friendly approach. The subsequent surge of over 23,000 writers signing up to try SoCreate only underscores that SoCreate Writer is filling a much-needed void in the screenwriting world.

“The screenplay format can be daunting and complicated, and many new writers simply don't know where to begin,” said Couto. “Further complicating things is the industry-standard software that can often be cumbersome and frustrating.”

What sets SoCreate Writer apart from traditional screenwriting software:

  • Visual Story Creation: Writers can choose images to represent characters and locations, immersing themselves in their narratives within a highly visual story stream workspace.

  • Cloud-Based: SoCreate Writer is cloud-based, enabling writers to write anytime, anywhere, on any device, always picking up right where they left off.

  • User-Friendly: Designed with input from over 60 professional writers, the software meets the varied needs of its users, from beginners to seasoned pros.

Couto envisions SoCreate Writer as the catalyst to inspire a new generation of storytellers worldwide, breaking down the barrier of the intimidating blank page. The company also plans to release the software in seven more languages soon, extending its reach and making storytelling a global pastime.

The company already offers free screenwriting and storytelling content in various languages on its blog. "Writers globally have long been forced to use English-language software and decipher English-only storytelling content, but stories shouldn't only come from Hollywood," emphasized Couto.

Priced at just $13.49 per month, the Personal SoCreate subscription offers writers a comprehensive toolkit to jumpstart their screenwriting journey. Professional and Studio subscriptions are also in the pipeline.

"I hope SoCreate encourages people who never thought they'd be writers to try their hand at it and let their creativity flow," concluded Couto.
