@edwardsylvan You need to be spending quality time with me and the rest of your film crew my brotha. It gets worse everyday that you ignore your truth. Come on man!
Things in a screenplay that won't raise the budget:
• Interesting conflict.
• Intriguing characters.
• Great dialogue.
Things that will:
• Many characters.
• Lots of locations.
• FX.
• Giant set pieces.
• Another time period.
• Complicated action scenes.
Write smart.
