The Project Page (PDF) is a new writer tool the WGAE is launching to help screenwriters be more informed at the initial point of contact on any feature project.
The Project Page collects all the key information about your feature project in one document. For example, it asks for the logline; how many other writers are competing for the job; how long the project has been in development; if there is a director, actor or other talent attached; and whether IP rights have been secured.
How it works
Have your rep ask producers to fill out a copy of the page before sending you projects. Or, you can simply send the form directly to a producer yourself.
The Project Page begins the conversation on any new project with transparency.
For instance: if the Project Page informs you that the rights on the underlying IP are not closed, you can then decide whether you want to wait before pitching on the project.
Our hope is that Project Pages become industry-standard and are utilized by writers, representatives, producers and executives alike to convey crucial information about feature opportunities.
If you have any questions, please contact WGAE Director of Contracts and Enforcement, Geoff Betts (gbetts@wgaeast.org; 212-767-7852).
