Written Consent?

A production company out in LA wants to develop one of my scripts into a film. But they said they need my written consent first. I know what this means, but I've never been privileged enough to get to the stage of having to give someone permission to use my work, until now. So I don't really know what a proper consent letter looks like.

What should I be asking for? How should I format it? Those kind of things.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks, Cam. I have agent already.

This isn't a paid assignment by the way. And I'm actually already a hired screenwriter for this company. I'm close with the producer as well. I don't know if this changes anything.

Time for an entertainment attorney. Yours, not theirs.

Can you elaborate?

Your agent will know what a consent letter looks like. What
Zensteve meant was you should contact an attorney who
will be represent you - not the company in LA. But since
you have an agent you do not need an attorney. Ask the
company in LA to send you their standard consent form,
show it to your agent and if you both agree it's to your
advantage to sign it then you do so and sent it back.
