![]() I've had the same script float through there three times, and each time from a different producer. I think that most of their movies are made by outside producers (like the folks I was dealing with) who take projects to Lifetime for financing (almost as if the Network is a studio). Lifetime puts up 50% of the funding and the production company puts up the other 50% (for foreign rights).
One problem is that Lifetime budgets have gone down as cable becomes more fragmented. That means the scripts have to be something that can be made on a lower budget (all 3 companies were attracted to my script because it had a central location and about 15 speaking roles). You might watch a bunch of Lifetime movies and write down the names of the production companies - then look them up in HCD. This will probably be easy for you, as you're already watching these films (which is why you are writing one). - Bill |

![]() Lifetime is the biggest buyer of them all. They buy finished films for 1mln or less. Meaning the whole thing is 1 mln or less. So obviously screenplays are not bought separately. It's all a part of a package. Other networks can't afford even that. This is not a way for a screenwriter to earn a living.
