13.11.2024 You just got a legit movie offer for your book. What do you do first?
Make sure I own a veto to all creative decisions, the majority of the Merchandise income.
If a deal can be struck.
Don't get me wrong I like series and movies but Hollywood and similar professional movie/TV makers fostered a not very healthy environment. And as much as I hate doing red tape stuff I would make sure that I own the rights to the produced material, spin offs, merchandise etc especially making sure no giant company gets more than the bare minimum they need.
Set up my ethical work conditions list, (no crunch at any point, no days longer than 9 hours including make-up, paid sick days, healthcare extras, the diversity clause, etc).
Than setting up my tips for visualization (or more clearly clean them up), hand them to the prop makers and the costume department.
