Rebuilding thetools of cinema,starting with the screenplay.

I'm Sal, Salvatore Contino. I founded Animora, the company behind Typewrite: a screenwriting tool built around how writers actually work. I trained as a designer and in audiovisual production, so I build software with a script open next to it. Based in Turin, moving to Los Angeles.

origin

Designer first

I started in graphic design and moved into audiovisual production, then studied at NABA in Milan, where my first year included the fundamentals of screenwriting. That is where the problem came from: the tools writers use have barely changed, while everything around them has.
