Hi. You can use org-blocks like this with fountain-mode:

- https://github.com/rnkn/fountain-mode

#+begin_src fountain
INT./EXT. BLOOM HOUSE - (PRESENT) DAY

The front door opens to reveal Will and Josephine on the porch with their bags. REVERSE to
Will's mother Sandra (53), surprised and a little annoyed.

SANDRA
How did you get here?

WILL
We swam. The Atlantic, it's not that big really.
#+end_src


Best,

Bruno.
