I recently did a work for hire job for a WGA Writer. I wrote more than half of a television pilot and there was no formal contract in place at the time I began the work. After I completed the my work and did a final polish of the completed pilot there was a dispute over payment and I was forced to sign a NDA before payment would be released.
Since then the pilot has been picked up by a network and is currently filming the first season.
Is the NDA binding? Do I have any rights in relation to the series and the work I did? Or have I made a blindingly stupid amateur mistake (in order to establish a relationship with this writer) and I'm simply screwed? (In which case lesson learned...)
Thanks for your help.
