Re: Residuals???
I get residuals on a couple of dozen films and a 6 year run in a TV series, including indie films.... Now, I was an actor in all of them, as a writer, I haven't gotten any because all the films were Non-union. I have gotten residuals in films I wrote AND acted in, but just for acting.
I once got a check for .01 for, I think, the movie "Jack", and I called my agent and told her I'd cut her a check for .001. We laughed. She was a long time agent who I asked how they determine residuals and she answered, "Beats the hell out of me."
They average about $15 bucks and come twice a year... and then once in a while one will come for $700 with no explanation. I just cash them.
