Hi Craig. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.
This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.
Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.
Thanks, and have a creative day!
RB

My client asked about CAPS in stage direction, and told her, "It's a sign to someone in the film crew that their extra work is needed to achieve it."
Tony nailed it.

BUT (see what I did there?) some very big screenplays (The Martian) use "CONTINUED:". But most readers I've met think that's horrible clutter. Should only be used on shooting scripts and not every shooting script uses this device.
I recommend this blog post for a good conversation about the topic;

The "old rules" used to say to capitalize every sound effect, prop, action, or motion, but that's generally not done as much anymore. Except again maybe on shooting scripts.
Thanks, Kevin, but Mr. Trottier's wisdom.

It's my belief, and practice, to not include "CONTINUED" when a scene straddles pages. Final Draft allows a granularity to turn them on without adding Scene Numbers, but I agree it's clutter in a Spec, and reserved for a Shooting.
CAPS are recommended for sounds etc. in Shooting to make breakdown easier.
Funny, Brian. Reminds me of the old joke about Union crews; Jesus appeared to the Teamsters and said, "don't do anything until I return."
