Responding many years too late Luis R. Quintero but I'd choose Nia Vardalos. She's the reason I wrote my first screenplay and I'd love to star in my own uplifting comedies as she has as well!...

Some of my favourite comedians started in Vaudeville or radio. I relate to Jack Benny because our personalities are similar and our comedy style are very much alike and he has a certain sarcasm that I also have.

I know it's probably cliche, but I'd have to say Spielberg. The guy has been my top film and storytelling influence literally since I was a kid.

Treatment

Hi all, I was wondering something about treatments...do you always write one before starting on a new script, or if a logline is enough for you? Do you write treatments for all your scripts, or only if a producer or director needs it...? Are they really that useful?

I have never written a treatment. The closet thing I did was write an 8 episode bible for a proposed television show outlining the episodes. For feature screenplays I always write a solid, catchy logline and a one/two page synopsis.

Treatments can be a good way to ensure the dramatic elements of the story are strong, full, engaging and fit appropriately.

It's always different for each writer, it's best to just write what works for you. They can be really helpful when writing the script itself I've found. For getting a script sold or funded it's a necessity however.
