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. Expand post

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?

D Marcus

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...

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

Screenwriting vs Playwriting

I have had limited success with playwriting. Nothing broadway bound. But I have had some success. And proud of it.

But my issue is trying to make it translate into Screenwriting. I have been hired on two occasions to write a screenplay, and I have issues working outside the 3 dimensions of a stage.

There are many great movies which were originally stage plays. I find writing in limited locations creates many strong possibilities for character development, interaction, and conflict, as you become...

There are quite a few playwrights that have been successful screenwriters, Jeremy. I write single location stories. I believe it is an acquired skill but you should be up for the challenge. To entertain with a stage takes real moxie and creativity.

I love what many stage writers have done with their own work, as screenplays. Many of my favorite films have been adapted from plays. Ie: Steel Magnolias, Driving Miss Daisy, Trip To Bountiful, Bright...

I have directed and starred in my debut project that I will be releasing to film festivals. Can anyone explain and work with me to getting this project into the festivals?

Jeremy D Stemen

Hi Royal. I run one and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. If new to the business, I think the exposure is the main thing. Just get your name out there. Submit to both fee and free fe...

Austin Film Festival.

I intend to place a musical in a film festival. How do you think it will do?

Jeremy D Stemen

What an aggressive concept. If the festival is worth any shakes they will watch your film and grade it appropriately. I think it's a gutsy move, but it its a solid movie, you will be good. The reason...

You're a grammar snob, huh? Better keep it short. Hello and thank you for reaching out!

Ha! Hi Jeremy! Maybe a poor grammar "cringer" would be more apt......

Are there any showrunners in here?

Hello all. I hope you are all well. I would love to talk to anyone who is or has been a showrunner. Or possibly knows one. Is it easier to find a showrunner who is a writer, or a writer who is a showrunner? Thank you all!

Hello World of Stage 32.... Hope to meet you all!

Richard "RB" Botto

Hi Jeremy, check out the new "Find Work" section (under Projects at the top of your screen). Here you'll find projects in development that are seeking talent in the occupations you selected in your profile. So if you’re a screenwriter, you'll see projects in need of screenwriters. It’s the perfect tool for matching creative talent with suitable projects.
