Hey everyone, I've been coming to this site on and off for the past several years now. Never posted but always appreciated the great wealth of info and help on here.
So I sent an agent/producer my script and he loved it. He stated he wanted to get it out there asap during our initial convo.
This producer has several imdb credits to his name, but a vast majority are listed in "preproduction or script" status.
So long story short, we had a conference call with the director and we talked about where to shoot it, potential budget, etc.
But to this point, no contract has been discussed. While researching the director on imdb the other day, I see that now my script is listed on his credits in "script" status. I'm also now listed as the writer. There's also some actors that are listed for the cast now.
Now this is strange to me, because honestly without me actually signing off on anything, I can still send my script out to other producers and agents without a written agreement in place. Is this a normal process? And at what point should I discuss the contract or should I wait a little longer until he has a full package in place with who's attached to the project and funds are confirmed?
