Producing : Attaching Talent by Jason Bradford

Attaching Talent

I have a screenplay that I am going to self-produce and I am reaching out to some well-know B-List talent before seeking funding to help build value in the project. My quesion is: "What documentation, etc. do I need to have in place to have the talent attached to the film?"

Hey Lazaro, Thanks for the reply! Fortunately, it is a solid script and I have an in to a strong B-lister. This, of course, really guarantees nothing. I have some leads on funding but that will depend on the talent attaching to the project. I have a payment plan in place that will include the SAG minimum as well as a producer credit to share in the profits. I already have the biz plan together, character charts, synopsis, budget breakdown, all in place and an Associate Producer on board to launch a solid social media campaign. Now, I just need the stars to align and all the gods to smile and the wallets of the heavens to open up and dump the funding in a special bank account so I can get this thing in the theater!

Start with a Business Plan, so they know who you are, your track record, etc.
