My first six screenplays follow structure fairly well (inciting incident and all), but then I found an indie producer/director that has me writing a script for him where the structure is much less important - so I'd say my seventh script follows structure at about the 65-70% level.
I have a story that's been burning inside me, more artsy, and I would say it has three acts, but definitely no inciting incident and all that (or if it does, it isn't revealed until much later)....
My question is: Does it matter? As I've learned from my seventh script experience, some producers/directors don't give a damn. But with a spec that I would want to sell, does it matter?
Thank you!
P.S. If you don't know what I mean by the structure, I tend to write towards the Save the Cat beat sheet.
