  • Writing For An Independent Company

    Hello.
    I got aksed to write a screenplay for a Director and Producer over in Sacramento ?
    But because i live in Australia does this pose worries ?
    Will my screenplay get taking advantage and he will not pay up?

    What are youre thoughts and opinions.

    you won't be taken advantage of and write a script that you won't get paid for, simply because you won't write a script BEFORE they start paying you. if i understand you correctly and this director and producer want you to write a script for them, then if they are ethical, they will pay you commencement money up front, with more to come when you've finished a first draft, more with a second draft, and the rest with the polish, etc..

    do not under any circumstance write this script without a contract and some money up front.

      Also, find out if they're WGA affiliated (my guess is that they might not be due to their location). This is an utterly fair question and no-one worth their salt will have a problem with you asking it.
