I have never done one but I have a Producer putting one together for a script I optioned and now had a development person as me for one. All in the span of a couple days. ThanksYesterday, 01:22 PM

I wrote the first draft of an indie adaption for a producer (i've posted on here before about it). Several other writers have come on for rewrites and the script bears no resemblance to what I wrote. It's an indie, so obviously at this point I'm not expecting a written by credit. The producer, however,...01-24-2021, 02:45 PM
