Optioning Scripts for Indie Filmmakers, When to Drone, and GOOD DEAL/BAD DEAL

from The No Film School Podcast · host No Film School

Today’s episode includes a deep dive into option contracts and what you need in them. In this episode, we talk about... The indie side of writer-director relationships. What you need in your option agreement from an indie perspective of producing and directing movies. The different ways writers approach their work on an indie project versus a commercial project. Why it’s a good idea to bring a lawyer onto your project for you. How DJI has come out with a new drone! Why indie filmmakers should be aware of the drones out on the market and how they can incorporate them into their movies. A discussion on drone shots within film. A Good Deal/Bad Deal discussion of working on an unpaid proof of concept with the hope (but not guarantee) that you might get paid work on the feature. The film industry practice of paying each other with favors.
