about us

In a nutshell, Virtual Amnesia (VA) is a company dedicated to providing you - the screenwriter - with affordable, high-quality screenwriting software that will "bring your script to life". Our company was created by screenwriters for screenwriters, and continues to be at the forefront of cutting-edge screenwriting software development.

Virtual Amnesia was set up in Jan 2001 when SceneWriter's creator (Mark O'Neill) and his writing partner had an idea for a screenplay. They searched around for screenwriting software to help them write and format their work correctly, but after trying out the various software demos, to their amazement they found that the screenwriting software available at the time were, in their opinion, overpriced word processors. Added to that, they did nothing to help them actually write their screenplay.

Armed with a background in programming, Mark set out to create a new kind of screenwriting software - one in which the different scenes in the screenplay could be accessed or written in any order they saw fit, and hence SceneWriter was born.

Now in its latest incarnation as SceneWriter Pro, the software does not stand still. It is continually evolving - helped no-end by user feedback and the creator's own driving vision.
