See, told ya! Short filmmakers love horror.

Congrats, mate.

Send him/her/them, a contract - option it for a period of time. Not exclusive. You own the rights to the story etc. I always give three months.  You'll learn a lot of the time a film may or may not get made. The latter is sadly more common than not. You might get more offers. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Have you asked to see a sample of their work/show reel? Enquire as to their budget. You can ask for a nominal fee if you want.

Ant's a champ at this stuff having optioned a gazillion shorts. I hope he won't mind me saying so and will chime in if you've any more questions.

Do what you like, lots of us allow gratis, but don't sell yourself short. Ha! Pun.
Good on ya.

Thanks guys! I was told in advance in the email that he wanted to do this for free/nonprofit/low to no budget, but that I would obviously receive credit for writing/story as well as the final copy of the completed film, which I agreed to. To me, just the idea of finally getting a script filmed is worth more than a hundred bucks, or less, give or take... And I saw some of his other short films, they are pretty good and I think he'll do good with this. I'm excited to see how things turn out and if he really decides to go through with this one.

That's all fine. Things you may want to add or at least make clear:

- You receive the sole writing credit. No changes made to the script by others create a co-writing relationship on their part.

- You need to determine if the film-maker has exclusive rights. By way of example, I have given permission to students/newbies to film some of my shorts but reserved the right to sell the scrip to anyone else down the road.

Thanks for the heads up on that!

And thanks Warren!

Thank you! I'm not getting paid for this one, but it is getting filmed the week after next! I will obviously receiving writing/creation credits, as well as a copy of the finished film, in addition, I am being kept up to date on the status, and will be receiving behind the scenes pictures, so whatever I know, I'll let everyone else know.

And sure, I would love additional reads! The more, the merrier, always love hearing feedback both good and bad.
