Getting paid once Film Investment confrimed

[derek smith]

My Executive Producer has informed me that my Screenplay will be getting investment for me to Direct...Now barring a disaster....Do I allocate myself a percentage of the budget, or does the Investors decide what percentage I should get???...Do I need to bring in an Enterainment Solictor for it etc???

Well getting paid after the investment or rather getting a compensation from your hard work in making the film, producing it and editing etc. Is a great feeling because you'll get what you deserve. But as the other peeps replied here I totally agree with them that all people who worked hard in that film must be well compensated and thus the list of budget is needed for that. For more information about how film investment works you can check the site of The Movie Fund. See more here: http://www.themoviefund.com/investing/investment-company.html

just to add up listing of budget must be well elaborated so that if you give the list or give the list to the investors they can see where the money will go etc.
