Just to give you some perspective on "technology"

Sometimes, yes. But sometimes it's a good team. Take Norm (Envision) and Rebecca. They're a writing team and I think their material is much stronger from the collaboration.

Also

Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio (Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean)

Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Phillipa Boyens

so collaboration does work.
 
Filmmaking is a Team sport. You really have ot be willing to trust and Delegate responsibilty. a good director knows this. a good writer, trusts the director. the director trusts the DP, the Dp trusts the Gaffer, gaffer trusts the Grips... Grips trust the PA's.... any lack of trust or respect, the key component , the whole hting can crumble.

David O Russel anyone? The films still got done, but now look at his reputation. would anyof you work with him?

Exactly... which brings up respect for other members of the team. If there's no respect for the writer from the director (for example), then that will show up in the film.
