I'm looking for some advice here as this is all new to me. I've followed a director (short films/commericials) for a while online. He's repped at one of the biggest management firms. He mentioned he'll want to work on his first feature soon. So I approached him with a script, and he loved it! He's sending it to his manager to see what his reaction is. He and I have corresponded by email for some time now. If we move forward, he'd want to take a scene from the script, and turn it into a short, in order to garner producer/financial interest. My question is, how do I approach the topic of... I guess... Cost? Would he be optioning my script? Buying the rights? How do I bring up this topic of getting paid, rather than being tagged along with hopes he'll make it, and I never see a dime. I hate to seem like I'm all about money though, because I'm not. I just don't want to be tagged along without any kind of gain.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice!
