Screenwriting : Treatnent: budget or no budget? by Morgan Drasan

Treatnent: budget or no budget?

Looking for opinions, when submitting a treatment what’s your thoughts on including a budget?

Not a professional line manager budget, but a educated guess.

Is this a rookie mistake?

E Langley

Don't. It is.

Stephen Folker

I wouldn't. However, you can write a script with a budget in mind (less is better).

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Morgan Drasan. I agree with E and Stephen. I usually just put "micro-budget," "low-budget," "mid-budget," or "big-budget" in treatments. And I agree with Stephen about writing with a budget in mind.
