screenwriters
They draft scripts
Screenwriters are writers who create scripts for film and television.
The screenwriter develops dialogue, scenes, and story structure, working within the constraints of visual storytelling.
In film, screenwriters may adapt existing works or create original material; in television, they often work in writers' rooms collaboratively.
The screenwriters spent months reworking the third act.
