I'm a film major and screenwriter. I store all my brainstorming, outline, and other relevant information in an Org file. I write the actual screenplay using Fountain Mode.
Fountain syntax is sensible and intuitive. This is, by far, the best screenwriting experience I have ever had. Other programs have a bunch of "story-management" features that I find bloated and useless. Fountain Mode allows me to use easily create sections that I can cycle just like in Org Mode. These "headings" organize act structure, plot points, and scenes.
The only downside is that I need to use an external tool to create PDF.
One way to make this setup even more awesome would be to integrate the screenplay with Org.
