Why you don’t need to be a writer.

 A great script requires two things: a great idea and a great writer to write it. The talent to write a screenplay is rare. Dramatic writing is one of the most difficult forms. That much is well known, but this may come as a surprise:

Talented writers don’t always have the best original ideas for movies.

Students are often shocked to learn that Shakespeare lifted the plots for every one of his plays except The Tempest. If the greatest dramatist in Western literature felt the need to borrow ideas, screenwriters can be excused as well.

Once they get a good idea, screenwriters can milk it for everything it is worth,crafting a solid dramatic structure, writing dialog that rings true and creating three dimensional characters. That is their gift. But they don’t always have the best concept for a film.

Hollywood/Nollywood studios know this. That’s why they buy ideas from various sources—if it’s good, they will write a check, regardless of where the idea originated. Once they own the idea, they will assign it to an experienced writer and hope for a wonderful script. So non-writers do have a place in the movie industry. If you can think of a story that would make an entertaining film, then you have something valuable. If you only have part of a story that would make an entertaining film, you still have something valuable.

The Standard price of a good script or story is $5,000-$50,000.
