I write screenplays that don`t get made and pilots that don`t get picked up, and I re-write other people`s movies, and those are all different kinds of fees.
I mean, when I started out I was billing per hour, like a shrink because you would sit with somebody and work. But most of it, if it`s for a live show it`s usually a buy-out. A flat fee.
I mean, I`ve sold all these scripts and nothing`s been made. Studios have closed, stars have died. I had a director find Jesus. And the pictures just don`t get made.
I`ve written about 15 screenplays and they all sold - they were all sold on pitches.
