What's New

Fixed a problem that prevented Contour, in certain situations, from saving data as expected.

App Description

**This is the older version of Contour for Mac which is compatible with operating systems older than 10.11. If you are using a new operating system, check out Contour 2.0.**


"If you’re trying to finish a big box office feature but your story seems to run out of steam around page 60, Contour could help you lay a proper foundation that better equips your story for success."

"Jeff has an acute understanding of the kind of story structure that makes for successful movies. By analyzing blockbusters he extrapolates a story construction model that is surprisingly simple and universally applicable. And, best of all, it works."

Tim Hill
Director
Alvin and the Chipmunks


"Screenwriting is an art, and Jeff Schechter conveys both the craft and the soul of the trade. A gifted teacher, he provides methods which will help you both structure and elevate your best ideas."

David Sacks
Executive Director
The Simpsons


Have a great idea? Then get it out of your head and onto the page!

Developed in tandem with Emmy Award-nominated screenwriter Jeffrey Alan Schechter, Contour is a proven story development system that streamlines the process of turning your movie ideas from first glimmer to full outline. Using the Contour story development system you’ll learn how to use the same character-based structure that all blockbuster movies use to create solid stories that hold together from Fade In to Fade Out. With its intuitive, fill-in-the-blanks approach, Contour shows you exactly what elements need to be in your script, never again leaving you to wonder, “what comes next?” Also available for iOS. El Capitan compatible!

A must-have for every screenwriter.
