Screenwriting : Writing a limited dialogue screenplay by Jeremy Stemen

Writing a limited dialogue screenplay

Has anyone been successful with this?

How detailed did you get?

I showed it to the producer, and he said it was more of a directors treatment than a script.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thank you for dealing with my neurotic melon.

EDIT:Let's say the original Road Warrior. Not Mad Max, but the Road warrior. The only real dialogue was inside the little fort. How is the rest written? How much detail does one get into it?

how limited? if youre the writer and its not an improv comedy, then ya gotta write the dialogue...

G Vinay

It depends on makers. They need it as simple as possible. If you look at Manchester by the sea, you'll realise I think. I can say if I look into your dialogue screenplay.

Are you talking about an improv script or a dialogue free script?

If the producer told you what he read was more of a directors treatment than a script I suspect you did not write in standard screenplay format. Even if there is limited dialogue (or none at all) you write is as you would a standard screenplay. Writing what happens on the screen for each scene.

What about The Artist? That has very limited dialogue in it. :-)
