Shared upside
Create together. Earn together.
For each approved project, the writer and selected editor participate in the movie's defined profit pool. TLA retains the remaining share for production, technology, development, distribution, marketing, operations and project risk.
Important: the final legal agreement should define exactly what “profit” means, how platform fees and production costs are handled, reporting frequency, payment schedule, credits, rights and termination terms.
