Before work can begin on your screenplay, you will have to complete a standard screenplay release form. The document─a necessary and all-important agreement─provides crucial protection for both parties concerned. The vast majority of agencies, producers, studios, and script doctors require it. Why? It protects you by explicitly designating this material as your sole property. This agreement also protects me if I am already working on a script that is similar in theme or content to yours. Let’s face it. A lot of artists in this world have similar ideas, or write on the same topic. An idea does not have copyright protection, but its execution can. And fortunately, the way you creatively implement your idea will distinguish it from others. But don’t worry. True professionals, with real talent, don’t waste their time stealing other people’s ideas.
Upon completion of your payment, you will automatically be redirected to a secure JotForm.com page where you will be able complete the release form online and attach your PDF formatted script.
For your convenience, you will find a copy of the form below for your review. Though not shown on the image below, there will be a field included in the online form where you can attach your script.
