Hey guys,
I had one script optioned twice and I got $5,000 each time. As for the writer's share of a script, from what I am observing right now, it depends upon whether it's an independent production or if it's done with a major company.

I currently have an independent producer putting together the financing for another film script which I co-wrote. Since she's doing all the leg work, she has set up an LLC with herself, myself and the other writer to all share in the profits of the film. If she succeeds in getting the financing, casting, shooting, distribution, etc. all done, it will at least give me one script out there that has been made. I guess it's like anything else. I just want to get something out there so that the next one will be easier! We'll see. Until then, at least I don't drive a cab or wait tables! LOL!
