October 1, 2009  (London, UK) — Nuvotech announces the implementation of a new screenwriting class offered to 2nd year MFA candidates at Boston University.

REWRITE!

“The Rewrite” is a new graduate screenwriting course offered this Fall at Boston University’s acclaimed screenwriting program, giving thirteen candidates the opportunity to test drive Movie Outline’s unique features in order to construct a solid outline for a new feature script and assist in re-drafting an earlier work. The results of using Movie Outline 3 will be reported and published at the end of the term.

“I have long searched for a program that combines standard script formatting with in-depth story and character development,” commented Professor John Bernstein, Director of the Screenwriting Program. “I really like the way Movie Outline focuses on story and structuring and believe that my students will benefit greatly from using it.”

Dan Bronzite, CEO of Nuvotech adds “We are delighted to be working with Boston University and hope that this collaboration will not only help their students but also further develop the features of the software for the needs of the modern screenwriter”.
