But I think the holy trinity for a great film comprises of the director, the editor and the cinematographer.
Why is the screenwriter never included as a major part of the film's success? I know they have awards for them but they don't seem to get much recognition. I find it interesting that my favorite directors also write their own screenplay (Wes Anderson, the Coen Bros., Tarantino.) I think that is important because the early creative process of writing translates better to the big screen because the director knows exactly what each written scene is supposed to look like.
With aspirations to be a screenwriter myself I feel like the writers don't get much credit. Harumph.
