Hi all. Green as the grass, but making the effort.
Feature screenplay. So a small-profile producer has offered $7k up front and X % of the budget. He's excited, touting name 'connections', etc.
A larger producer is presently working on a project with a big name and a big name s-writer. Has offered zero dough for an option--36 month term, with no money during 1st 18 months. Will get back to me with the entire offer details should I be willing to go into a no-dough deal.
I started querying a few agents/management/ production co's a week ago... 8 requested--very nice companies- so 6 have only had it a couple of days.
So #1--considering which way to go: suggestions/opinions are most welcome.
#2 How much time should I play for in order to see other potential responses? (or if they were going to respond they would have by now?)
#3 --It's odd, but just last week I did an option deal with no dough up front on a film based on a book I wrote. Medium producer-Nice names. But I got on as a producer (they will drive the project... I got in as a producer cuzz I also secured and control the life rights (biopic) Soooo should I attempt snagging a rep whilst in the midst?
Any input/insights sincerely appreciated.
It's not that I'm a great writer and two hit at once. One project took many years to get here. The latter just happens to be subject material trending right now.
