Screenwriters, You Are the Creators of Universes, Not Just Stories

Screenwriters, remember: it’s only because of you that cinema comes to life in front of tens of millions of eyes. Without you, it simply wouldn’t exist. You are the creators of universes.

Yes, another writer could craft a world too—but it would be a completely different universe, because you are unique. Appreciate this, and never forget it.

Even though too often, screenwriters are underestimated, your work shapes entire realities

Michael Dzurak

I totally agree. I imagine what else could happen -- and in fact be happening -- in my script's world as I am writing. We are always showing but a narrow, dotted slice of events from a full world.

You're right, Aleksandr Rozhnov! "Yes, another writer could craft a world too—but it would be a completely different universe, because you are unique." That's why I think even if a writer finds out that another writer is writing about the same topic, the writer who finds out should still write their script. The scripts won't be the same.
