Monkeypaw Productions is Taking scripts for both Feature and TV pilots

Anyone already did or is thinking of submitting to Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions after the announcement this week? If so, is Copyrighting your script enough to protect you? Here is the link. https://monkeypawproductions.com/submit

Hmmm...have a careful read of T&Cs’ and make sure you are happy with them before submitting. I did and decided not to apply as didn’t like some of their wording. But each to their own! :)

Krista Crawford

Can I ask what wording had you concerned?

Martina Cook

This...

John Iannucci

Does seem a little over written and ambiguous. On one hand they’re saying you have no rights then on the other they’re saying only to parts of the story if they rewrite it? Am i right?

Doug Nelson

Martina, I'm with you on this matter... It's a little stinky. Personally, I'd steer clear.

Martina Cook

It sounds like they can use parts of your screenplay to make a new one and you don’t even get the email saying thank you. I think it’s not professional, they either commit to pick one (or none) and at least give credits for the original story. Just my thoughts, but if you feel it’s okay, go with it :)

Krista Crawford

Agreed, thanks for explaining!

J Anthony Ramos

Thank you for your thoughts everyone.
