- Khaled Sabawi, Founder & CEO
Open Screenplay was founded on a simple belief: quality should matter more than connections. For too many talented screenwriters, the journey ends the moment they type FADE OUT — not because the work isn't good, but because they don't know the right people. We set out to change that.
Open Screenplay gives writers three powerful ways to develop their craft: a guided solo workflow that takes you from idea to finished script one milestone at a time, patented co-writing technology that connects you with collaborators worldwide, and Rawi — a screenwriting companion trained in the art and craft of storytelling, designed to guide you through every phase of development without ever writing over your voice.
We believe your life experiences make you a powerful storyteller. We believe the stories that reach screens should be as diverse and extraordinary as the world we live in. And we believe that when writers have the right tools — intuitive, intelligent, built by people who understand story — the gap between a great script and a produced one closes fast.
Writers on Open Screenplay have already proven it. Screenplays developed on our platform have become award-winning films. Entertainment companies, brands, and film labs come to us looking for original voices. When your writing improves, opportunities follow. And we're building toward something bigger: a future where story becomes the control language for AI-generated cinema, and anyone with a powerful idea has the operating system to bring their cinematic vision to the world.
