    AFI question

    So another question. I was looking at their program and about their review after your first year ? I know other schools have this but it seems like a 'check your work, make sure grades are adequate'. The way AFI phrases it though, it seems to me like your position would be in real question.

    A FREE alternative to Final Draft

    I use Celtx. If you're in a program, your school might be able to get you a discount. It was only a 100 for us with a code from the school.
