I am finishing up the draft to my first movie screenplay. I want to get it registered ASAP (this week) and have a few questions about doing so. I was going to submit it online at www.copyright.gov; it is only $35 and is copyrighted from the minute they receive the submission.
While looking around, I found a Script Registration page on the Writers Guild of America (East).
https://www.wgaeast.org/index.php?id=238
To register it there would be $17 (I am a student).
Does this wind up at the US copyright office or is it just a submission to WGAE and if there is a copyright issue, then they deal with it? Any advice would be most helpful.
Thank you
Jon
