Try to get a good lawyer to advise you on how to set things up and make sure everyone is covered legally and on the same page.

I have two good animated scripts (shorts) you may be interested in ~ Freely available for option ?
How is the new production company going, Corey Idleburg? I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but you should definitely have a way set in stone for how to distribute and make money. Lots of produc...
