A great writer is not judged by the story as much as whether they can write a great story in any situation. If a writer can come up with stories that work in all sorts of situations they will get their scripts sold.
One of the greatest things a writer can be able to do is write with a particular budget in mind. If the writer knows there will be a minimal budget then they can keep the locations to one place, characters to a minimum, and props to as little as possible. They can also keep in mind where they know things will be shot, who is available to do acting. They can also keep the shots simple, no crane shots or dolly shots.
A writer is the beginning of any film, they are the ones that create the story and essentially dictate what the production will cost and entail. So starting with the writer is a great way to make sure the film will be made and done the best way it can.
