The Legalese of Screenwriting Contracts!
Manage episode 366587717 series 2991033
*Disclaimer, we are not lawyers -- even though today's guest, Rob's good friend (and former writer's group member), Pamela Nash, is. She has also acted on his behalf as de facto legal counsel for all of his screenwriting contracts -- and some for this podcast as well -- and breaks down the vague and (what is often) unenforceable language of various legal contracts that Rob & Kay have gotten over the years.
Our Weekly Resource:
Found a great article over on Pipeline Artists written by Ken Aguado (twitter handle, @kaguado) entitled, “Not-Boring Legal Agreements for Film & TV Writers” which gives a (very) basic overview of the most common legal agreements/contracts that screenwriters find themselves privy to. It’s a short, but good read, and there’s links to some Writer’s Guild resources within the article so you can further rabbit hole down over this very complicated subject.
Notes From the Episode:
Zack's Original Instagram video (for our Twitter Drama Bumper)
Maureen Ryan's book, "Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood"
How to Make a Movie for $1000
