Dear Friend,

My name is David Basulto. I am a filmmaker in Los Angeles, and the creator of FilmSchoolOnDemand. I live and breathe filmmaking. One of the first things I learned in this town was the golden rule: he who owns the gold makes the rules!

The most important thing for a producer to have is a great script. The script is everything. Its the foundation to which you will build your entire career on. With a powerful script in your pocket the floodgates of attaching talent and finding money are at your finger tips!

But you better own the rights to that screenplay. I don't know how many times I’ve heard producer friends saying "well he was a friend of mine" and "we had a handshake deal" but when money was on the table that handshake deal meant nothing!

After receiving many e-mails from listeners of my podcast Filmmaking Central.com telling me how they been no the proper way to acquire the rights of a screenplay or they just didn’t have enough money.

And let’s face it legal fees in this business can be astronomical. Believe me I know I’ve paid for them.  When I first started out I relied on my lawyers negotiate everything for me at $500-$600 an hour it really started to add up.

That’s when I really started to look into the contracts they were doing and seeing a lot of them were just boilerplate and they’re filling in the blanks. From that point on I started negotiating my own screenplay options and purchases Using an option agreement that cost me well over $4000.

As a filmmaker who is made movies as low as $10,000 I know there is no room in the budget to afford an attorney to negotiate and secure the rights for you. But guess what you don’t need them! Why? Because it’s all here for you now in video format ready for you to soak it all in
