Abstract: Script writing is a form of art, and creating art is never easy. The works of a script writer are criticized by many, loved by some, hated by others, and they're viewed by billions - whether it's a TV show, movie, play or even a computer game. Living in a world that is driven by different mediums of entertainment, it is no shocking discovery that script writing has become one of the most attractive and well-paid jobs on the planet. With the sort of money that is awarded to box-office hit scriptwriters, to have more people interested in this area is frankly an expected turnout. However, script writing is not all gold. It can be a difficult and backbreaking task not only for those who this overwhelming experience is baptism of fire, but even the most experienced of writers can face years of creativity dry-spells or the infamous writer's block. So what are the odds for a writer to plunge in a successful script writing career? PAGE is all about increasing said odds and making the scriptwriting journey somewhat easier. It is a Production Assistant Generating Excerpts system which is precisely targeted to assist writers get through the inspiration drought. Besides offering the basic script writing features (such as automatic formatting) this artifact is targeted at providing suggestions for next lines and cues, images for scenery and music to be included in particular scenes. We believe that such suggestions trigger new ways of finding inspiration and creativity as they combine three art forms on one platform. To be able to give intelligent recommendations, PAGE senses what the user writes and performs appropriate searching and retrieval of the information it deems as best fit. So what should one do when facing writer's block and a dead end?-Turn to PAGE.
