    industry are tv companies safe to deal with?

    It looks like they did not specifically request the material from you. I would have sent a query letter first. If they asked for a script by name, I would send it. If they can prove I lied on any question, that might destroy any chance I had in court in case of copyright dispute.

    I heard that elmore leonard was mad at burt reynolds for the latter's direction of the Leonard story, Stick. Leonard thought Reynolds put a beat after every dialogue line, and that this ruined the story. How do beats work? Can they put in or taken out by the scriptwriter? Orson Welles used...

    Would anyone have any thoughts on negotiating payment when a filmmaker likes a script? Some points I have seen discussed include the following: - how to negotiate the best initial compensation. Is a lump sum paid? - What are the terms and pitfalls of an option? - how much to charge per...
