Hi There
I'm just looking for a little advice if someone is in the know.
My question comes in 2 parts:
1) I have recently started writing a comic film script with a colleague. He came up with the original suggested idea and we have both taken it on from there.
2) My colleague has also written a number of sit coms but has yet to have any succces. I have read some of these and know that if I were to go over them again that they could be tweaked to be much funnier.
My question is in how we go about establishing a partnership. Before I invest myself fully in the process I would like to know where i stand in terms of credit in both these scenarios. Is there a written or unwritten rule that dictates what is fair.
I know that this is probably a problem for a long way ahead and probably sounds quite mercenary but I would like to get it right from the start so that we both know where we stand before a lot of time and energy is invested.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
