Re: Taking points on a film's earnings...advice needed

[nick hasson] "I walked away with 1100 bucks."


Wow! Someone that actually made $1,100.

I have done several of these and the check you get up front might be the only check you'll ever see. Find the crookedest lawyer you can and have them write your contract.

Nick did the smart thing. On one project I worked on in he early years, the director changed the name of the film and all contracts were rendered void. There's a thousand ways to skin a cat and a thousand more ways to skin you. Be careful.

Sam Rami did the same to his college buddies but he is an honest guy and the loyal guys made it big and they're still with him. That's what I would do and I can't be the only guy who's honest.
