Hi Everyone,
In this week's film on SCRIPTFELLA, I open up one of my writing contracts, share the numbers and explain what the legal terms mean. Along the way, we lift the lid on the evils of Hollywood Accounting, explain the difference between potential vs reality earnings...and the reason why you should NEVER work "for net-.

Full disclaimer - I'm not an attorney or an expert in entertainment law. Everything I know about screenwriting contracts, I picked up on the job over the years and learned at the side of my various representatives - the eight agents, three managers and one seriously-useful attorney...
If you find this film about screenwriting contracts useful, please spread the word and share with other screenwriters.
Very best,
Dominic
