Ok, i have made a handful of films, done some research into the market and i am actually beginning to make money from my download sales. Therefore i would like to offer distribution services out to other filmmakers and have drafted up my terms/conditions.
1.The filmmaker allows National Film Distribution (NFD) to promote and sell your film using any legal method possible.
2. The filmmaker retains all distribution rights and may promote their film aswell.
3. NFD work on a commission basis with film sales split 50/50.
4. Payments are issued monthly via cheque or paypal with statements by email at the filmmakers discretion.
5. Films are accepted on the basis of commercial potential.
6. Films that do not become a commodity can be withdrawn at anytime.
7. The filmmaker can withdraw their film from NFD at anytime
8. All submissions must be 10 mins or less on dvd or mini dv and provide still images for general promotion.
9. Filmmaker or third parties will not hold NFD accountable for any alleged copyright infringement. NFD considers all copyright clearances have been obtained and are held by the filmmaker who can provide the release forms if requested.
Would you consider the terms/conditions reasonable? And is there anything i have missed out?
