Wrote a script that has a director and financing attached. In a pending announcement, producers are pushing for me to share writing credit with another producer (who’s also a WGA writer) to help with attracting talent and key dept heads. Our contract stipulates that I’m to receive “written by” credit and the producer a “produced by” credit.
What the heck should I do?
On one hand, I’m just starting out and this helps me either way. I’m also the easiest to throw overboard should push come to shove (heck, my replacement’s already on the project). On the other hand, I absolutely wrote it. I can stick to my guns and say a deal’s a deal. I mean, the money’s already there (at least a chunk of it, anyway).
Help! Would love some advice.
Thanks!
