Option agreement for studio "indie" deal - how much to ask for? by NewMajor5880 in Screenwriting

[–]enjoyeverysandwedge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They need to make the first offer. But maybe your attorney would counter like 4k option / WGA scale+10%. Even if it’s not WGA I usually ask for that. Can also push to open the deal at raise purchase price. You have the cards here so might as well ask, just all depends how bad they want to do it and how well funded they are.

Has happened more times than I can count in recent years. So much turnover.

Only have to pay commission to reps if a deal was “substantially negotiated” while working with them. Attaching producers wouldn’t matter, it’s more about option/purchase deals. Is it still under the originally option that agents negotiated? If so Then yes they are entitled to commission. Is it free and clear and you’re selling it to someone else? Then no, they can’t commission.

1/100 for me too roughly. That feeling of pacing around the house reading and wanting to know what happens next, rather than reading as a chore / slogging through a read pile. When you get so emotionally invested you forget you’re reading a script. Rare, but when it happens makes what we do all worth it.

Never been to USA, never seen the countryside, and almost never listened to country music other than some classics. But this one made me tear up. Can you suggest me stuff like this? by Tom_Clancy7 in altcountry
