I just found a python package that can convert fountain markdown to LaTeX: https://pypi.org/project/fountain/.
And this is a LaTeX package that can create screenplays: https://ctan.org/pkg/screenplay?lang=en.
The Fountain Mode in emacs can use different backends, but I use Afterwriting: https://afterwriting.com/.
