About Us

Stephen Colbert and Rob Dubbin founded Scripto to solve a critical issue in fast-paced TV production: the lack of software equipped to support collaborative writing-driven workflows. Today, Scripto empowers seamless, real-time collaboration with industry-standard formats and is relied on by scripted media production teams across TV, gaming, podcasting, YouTube, awards shows, and more.

It All Started With a Goat...

Long ago, before Scripto existed, there was a show called The Colbert Report, where some writers optimistically wrote in a surprise appearance by a live goat. To everyone’s surprise, the idea moved forward — which meant booking a showbiz-grade goat from an ethical and TV-ready animal handler, at significant expense to the production.

Only problem was: TV being TV, the goat’s appearance was cut from the script in revisions. And because they weren’t using Scripto, the show didn’t find out about the script change until the Tom Cruise of goats was already en route to the studio.

We all learned an important lesson that day: It’s good to make changes to a script, but only if everyone else can see them too. That was the first spark of an idea that led to the creation of Scripto.

At Scripto, collaboration is also important to us internally. We’re a small but mighty team supporting some of the most ambitious creative productions across the entertainment industry.
