Fi...I want to comment on both aspects of this post. First, paying attention to budget can bite you in the you-know-where either way. I write independent dramas, and recently had a meeting with a development exec who encouraged me to write MORE expensive scripts since her boss won't look at anything to be made for less than 10 million. So write what you write, and then send it to producers who work in your estimated budget range. Second, as to age - my first produced feature script starts filming in September. I'm 58. I started screenwriting at 45, and the one that's being produced is the second one I wrote. No one involved has ever questioned or commented on my age. Good luck!
