In Reply to: Buying a screenplay. posted by Colby on January 21, 2003 at 18:11:03:

: An old online friend wrote a screenplay about two years ago and posted it at an internet forum we used to use for chatting. I want to make it into a film, and possibly submit it to a small film festival. What do I have to do so that I can make this dream a reality? Should I email the author directly and ask permission, or is there a contract of some sort we need to work out? I've tried looking up information on intellectual property law, but can't find anything that addresses my particular situation.

Dear Colby,
It would be crazy to do anything without a written agreement. Give me a call and I'll give you an idea of what has to be done and how.
