Ok, I have an indie film project and I'm directing it, I'm a first time film director. I just contacted the agent of a recognizable actor, asking how I could go about sending the actor my script for him to review, the agent told me to make the actor an offer through email. Now, my question is, what do I put in an offer letter?
** do I put in the offer that the film project is not financed yet but is in the development phase but that I need an LOI from the actor to begin seeking out financing?
** should I put in how much the film's budget is and the date that I would like to start filming?
** should I put in how much I would be willing to pay the actor, once I do get the project financed?
** should I also put in that I would take care of the actor's airfare, lodging, etc., once the film is financed?
Exactly what goes into an offer letter besides the screenplay and the bio of the character that I am interested in having the character portray?
