Hi everyone!

this Sunday! If you or your friends will be in any of the following locations,

http://www.click-network.com/

The Education Channel – Tampa's cable TV network, Nov.-Dec.
http://tecc.tv/educationchannel.org/index.php

More may be added to the list as I'm still waiting to hear back from a few
festivals. I'm especially excited to announce these showings because the
competition was tough! Many of the festivals said that they had a
record-breaking number of entries this year. The Chicago festival had over 900
submissions.

After its festival run, I will put Tooth Fairy on YouTube for those of you who
want to see it.

The logline is: In the heart of suburbia, a little boy sets a trap for the Tooth
Fairy and discovers that even innocence has a dark side.

It stars Joseph Schirle (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2850834/), a very talented
8-year old. Tooth Fairy was his first gig and it was hilarious to hear him say,
"Finally, something to put on my resume!"

All the best,
Susan Ee
Director & Producer of Tooth Fairy

I have 2 co-writing agreemmts.
1. Pre-Collaboration Agreement
2. Co-Writers Agreement

The Pre-Collaboration Agreement is a formal contract where the two writers agree
to work together on a script.

The Co-writers Agreement is a formal contract that sets out the duties and rules
each other will abide by during and after the collaboration.

Remmber, both own the copyright of the work EQUALLY. Though it is set out for a
more experienced writer working with a less experienced writer, they are no less
than equal parners in the project.

To keep with the budgetting theme of this group, the WGA has basic payments to
adhere to for a co-writing team.

Contacy me off-group for these contracts at info@....

Please pardon me if this is off topic.

I'm going to be bringing a partner on to help with a script.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on finding agreements that we
can look at, to protect both of ourselves.

I'm also going to stipulate that I own the copyright, even though we
share the credit. I believe  this will make selling or producing the
script easier. Although this is un paid for both of us, we would split
revenues (if any.)

If anyone  has any thoughts or experiences in this area they would like
to share, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Am seeking information on a producer connected to Bollywood - his name is Piyush

Would you like your movie poster seen in a Verizon "video on demand" help video?

This is a no money exchanged situation. A friend of mine does freelance
producing/editing for Verizon corporate in New York. They are revising the "how
to use VOD" help video. My friend asked me if independent producers would care
to donate their key artwork for inclusion.

There is NO quid pro quo for getting your films on their service. This is simply
a way for independents to have their artwork seen and generate some interest in
their films. If you have artwork you'd like to have considered please send an
e-mail to Scott at his address: scottelong@...

Thank you in advance.

Relationship Card ™ ® ©, and it's under 4 minutes. Please give it a watch. If

I would like to personally recommend anyone who feels they need more knowledge,
information or a critical, honest eye, take Norm's course(s).

Norm, through this forum, his Budgeting forum and his website, www.reelgrok.com
has and continues to provide a hugely positive service to our community.

Yes, I am a fan, if you want to call it that. He and I speak from time to time.
He has proven both knowledgeable, polite and always helpful. So if you can, get
to L.A. and take the course. If not, check into his webinars, also equally
helpful and informative.

Thanks,
David Fisher

Need a strong Production Manager who has experience shooting a reality show in
at a house location. Knows how to set up the location and how to manage the
office, etc. Starts on Mon 4/20/09 and goes thru early June.

Include your resumé in the body of the e-mail.

If you can get to New York, you'll definitely want to join this one
amazing, information-packed day on March 12th. Even if you can't make
it, do your friends a solid and tell them about this session taught by
DGA director, Norman C. Berns.

The entire day is packed with vital information about the business end
of show business. Scheduling scripts, budgeting projects, building a
cash flow analysis, creating business plans, developing a legal PPM
and even how to pitch successfully.

Serious about making a living making films...? These are the details
you have to know.

***** 1. Eight full hours, exploring everything from a script
breakdown to pitching the project.

***** 2. The entire session is live and completely open to questions
and answers.

***** 3. Free morning coffee and a box lunch, too.

***** 4. Everyone who signs up will get great software. Free. No
demos - this is the real stuff.

***** 5. We'll raffle off a thousand dollars worth of major
production software. The more people, the more free software we can
raffle.

The entire day costs 99 bucks, all in. (Including a full PDF of the
class plus extra support materials.) I plan to repeat this class, but
the price will never be as low as this promotion; the giveaways will
never be as rich.

Go to http://www.eventbrite.com/event/290942216 for more information.
And if you can, but sure to sign up for March 12th in New York.

Best,
Norman
