I had previously posted about the idea of hiring a witer to write the first draft of a script because I felt I had way too many good ideas and limited time. I got a lot of helpful comments and the takeaway was that it wasn't a great idea because I would always be paired with the co-writer for any future projects and unless you are Ron Bass or James Patterson this set up doesn't really work.
I guess I am looking to see what I want to be. Don't worry it will get less confusing. I have 10 idea and enough money to pay writers to turn them into screenplays, but I want a hand in the writing process and I have no connections. I always thought of producers as being the ones with conections and funding who took and existing screenplay and got it going. I almost want to be a middle man producer who pays writers to write my hopefully great ideas or adaptations and then sell the completed scripts on to a traditional producer for a profit. Is there such a thing? In a way it sort of sounds like a manager or agent and I have no desire to get sucked into that world.
Perhaps it is just something I do and see what happens, but any guidance would be nice. I have got the money, time, and ideas now I just need to figure out how to do it.
