In reply to the discussion: I just won overall winner at a Vancouver BC film festival with my psychological thriller [View all]Redleg
(5,814 posts)5. "Just the writer"
It seems to me the writer is one of the most important jobs in film-making, unless they're making a stupid action flick that relies too heavily on visual effects and not enough on actual people relating to other people. I have really begun to appreciate screenwriters and writers whose books are adapted for film. The richness and tempo of the language is an art of itself. Congrats on your awards and good luck in the future!

I can, but as a writer, I'd be competing against people who already have feature films
