Obviously, practice and technique matter in the beginning, but I've always thought the basic ability to communicate and tell a story is a product of people's intelligence. Either they have it or they don't, and all the screenwriting seminars and authors' conferences in the world won't change whether or not someone has a compelling point of view on the world.
That is all.
