Acquiring Underlying Rights - The Nuts and Bolts of Locating, Negotiating for, and Acquiring the Rights to True Life Stories, Books, Plays, Newspapers and Magazine Articles OnDemand WebinarABOUT THE WEBINAR There's nothing harder than breaking into the entertainment business, but notice how many film and television projects are based on underlying material books, articles, true life stories.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

There's nothing harder than breaking into the entertainment business, but notice how many film and television projects are based on underlying material -- books, articles, true life stories. Acquisition of underlying rights can seem an un-climbable mountain, but having a script that comes with the self-promotional attachment of underlying rights gives you a leg up on the competition. And truth, as we know, remains stranger than fiction (except perhaps for "The Walking Dead.")

Mitch, a screenwriter who has been through this process a dozen times, will share with you tips and facts on how to locate the subject, approach and talk to the subject, and negotiate the best possible deal. He'll use not just anecdotal experience, but share contracts and other material that will enable you to get to the finish line secure and ready to begin your adaptation.

Learn how to overcome your fears, build trust between you and your subject, and feel comfortable with the legalese that might have seemed too daunting to attempt acquisition in the past. The benefits of a project "based on........" cannot be overstated.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to pick the gem from amongst all the other stones
  • How to approach individuals for their own life story
  • What is "public domain" and what it can mean
  • How copyright may or may not apply to your project
  • When and why to avoid agents, publishers, and journalists and when not to
  • How to talk to your principal -- what to promise and what to avoid promising
  • What is an "option" and what it means to "exercise your option"
  • How to create a simple "shopping" agreement
  • How to create a long-form, detailed contract

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

  • Any writer, new or experienced, who's ever thought about wanting to write a script based on a true incident or life story or underlying material
  • Writers who want to maximize their options on submitting material to the industry
  • Writers who have found a great book or article but don't know what to do next
  • Writers who have felt confused by, or intimidated about, acquiring underlying rights
  • Writers who know of a great life story they want to adapt but think acquiring the rights is too difficult or costly
  • Writers who do not have a lawyer and are confused or concerned about the extent to which they might need one
  • Writers who would like to understand what a simple shopping agreement or a full rights contract looks like and the difference between the two
  • Writers who would like to know more about copyright and public domain

More than expected
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
Love, love and recommended to friends. Leaves my skin feeling and looking great. At 69 I don't expect miracles but can definitely see an improvement in texture, glow and line minimizing. I'm hooked and will never be without!

Micro-needling effect!
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
Love how you can feel the micro-needling effect. I use this is my first application after toning and follow up with my serum and moisturizing routine. I do believe it gives my face a plump feeling, especially after gua sha. Will continue to use in my daily!

Helps my moisturizer absorb better
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’m not quite sure if the product is fully working the way it is supposed to but I do like that when I use this and the apply moisturizer, it absorbs into my skin better and leaves my skin smoother and a lot less greasy. It’s easy to throw in my travel bag because of the size and you really only just need a little for each use so it goes a long way got the cost.

Amazing!
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This makes my skin feel so smooth. The appearance of my skin also is starting to look a lot better/younger. I've been using it for a week and a half already seeing changes.

Brightens, doesn't firm
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I've been using this for about a month now, every night on my face and neck, hoping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tighten some of my skin in that area that seems to be losing elasticity. On my neck, I've honestly noticed no real difference in 4 weeks of continued, consistent daily use. The skin on my face does seem brighter and somewhat less textured than before, but I haven't noticed any change in the issues I was hoping this would resolve, based on the claims and how it was marketed. So... not a bad addition to my skincare, but not the solution I was looking for. Some have expressed concerns about it tingling or stinging... You can feel something when you apply it, it's almost like the feeling of static electricity, but it's very mild. I wouldn't let that stop you from giving it a try if you were concerned about it. It didn't cause my sensitive skin any breakouts or redness (although I was applying it at night before bed, so perhaps any redness was calmed overnight). I'm going to go ahead and finish the bottle, but based on these results, I probably won't repurchase.
