Hey everybody--
Newbie writer here, hoping to get some sage advice from all you veterans...
I had a script perform really well in a couple contests last year. It also had a good run on the Black List site. As a result, somebody passed it along to a producer who read it and liked it. We've been working together over the past few months to get the script in tip-top shape. I just got off the phone with him and have a few minor tweaks to take care of before it's ready to go.
Our recent dialogue has been more about the script itself than the details of his strategy, but that conversation is right around the corner. I do know that the next step is to try to get an actress attached, then go from there. But anything beyond that has yet to be discussed and I'd like to be prepared as possible when the time comes.
A few more details about me, my script and my situation:
-- I have no representation.
-- We have no formal agreement, contract, option, etc.
-- It's an indie thriller
-- He's legit. The last thing he produced was nominated for a golden globe and he has several projects set up around town with other very legit folks attached.
All that being said, I was hoping some of you could steer me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
