Economics of Screenwriting

Craig Mazin has a great article up about The Economics of Screenwriting, which is better (and more number-specific) than anything I would have drafted.

Craig is basically a smart entertainment lawyer who happens to be a really good writer. Consider it a must-read if you’re curious how screenwriter-folk get paid.

   Thanks John. That was informative. Having an idea of current standards can help when a deal starts to take shape.

   This may seem crass, but tell us where you sit in that hierarchy, John.

   He’s too modest to tell you, but as Craig “Artful Writer” Mazin correctly points out on his website, John breathes the rarified air only available to the nostrils of Marquee Writers.

   And I bet he drinks ambrosia, too!

   This is just revenge for the Howard Huge thing, isn’t it?

   I won’t back down.

   You love that dog!
