First thing I'd do is investigate them. See if they're a legitimate

production company, and if so, I'd ask for some samples scenes from some of their films to see what the quality is like. Then I would investigate the possibility of needing and acquiring an agent. Contracts are great, but it might be best to have a middleman, someone who can work out the finer details. I know an agent would get a percentage, but if your percentage is sizable, then it's a win-win.

Pia,

It's wonderful news that you're movie is going to be at Walmart. That is huge! With all their stores here and overseas.

I surely hope you added the 3% back end.

Please keep us informed.

When it arrives, I will have to tell everyone at our morning meetings to buy it.

I'm so excited for you.

Also, how is filming going for bert's short?

All the best,
Cindy

Thanks!....I need to clear some stuff up though.  

The Wal-Mart deal was for another of their projects. The one involving me is supposed to go to NetFlix, Hulu and VOD, but the fact that they already have an in with WM doesn't hurt. I hope.

Breanne, I think they are doing this in a hurry because the deal they have with the online streaming networks is for them to add two films in 2012. It's a little weird though how it seems they've been working on this before I was ever asked.

Congrats Pia.

It all seems legit. Just as long as you got your Christmas check.
As for the "other writer" I'm not too alarmed with this. Sounds like a polisher to me. Probably go uncredited, having only to change a line or two, depending on the shoot.

Maybe they had something else lined up and it fell through for some reason. But they already had studio time booked, camera crews, etc.

Darren, I think her concern is they will polish and use that as an excuse to not give Pia proper credit.

I have sent them a .fdr version of the script and they are going over it now. I'm not worried about the credit anymore. I try to be excited instead. I usually cringe when I watch films I've written. Not because the filmmaker did a bad job or the actors. I just don't like seeing and hearing stuff I wrote. Weirdo, I know.

Keep me posted.

Just wondering, will anyone be able to buy it when it's finished, or

will be just be able to view it?

I hate bumping old threads, but I'm rather dizzy and excited at the moment so maybe you'll forgive me.

This thing happened so fast, I don't really know what hit me. I'm stoked to tell you guys that the script has been sold and contracts signed. They started shooting Dec 28th and today I got to see the first cut of the trailer/promo. It looks awesome!! They shot it on the Red One camera which those of you into filmmaking will know as a GREAT camera. This looks really really pro! I even thought the dead girls looked awesome! There are some actors in it that even I recognize like C. Thomas Howell as Detective Slayter. Bill Oberst as Rommel. Really weird feeling to see people you recognize acting out what I wrote....most likely in a dark corner at night with a beer next to me.    They are rushing this because their goal is to have it on NetFlix and Hulu by April.    

AND...we are currently talking about them doing Finders Keepers as well!! They really liked that one!
