Why do “want-a-be” producers and directors treat scriptwriters the way they do? ‘Will you look at my idea for a movie.’ ‘Can you help me develop my script, I’m not a writer.’ ‘Can’t pay you but you’ll receive the credit for the script.’ ‘Looking for my next movie, please send your scripts to. . . ‘ The script is the foundation of all movies. I wonder if they would take the same action regarding the foundation of a house they build? You get what you pay for. Not even a plumber will fix a leak for free. So why do you value scriptwriters so poorly, if it was easy you would be doing it yourself.
