I am Claudette Walker, the woman with whom you will be conducting business. After all, those in the entertainment business want to know "who" they will be working with.
When asked a question, I answer based on all the facts I have. The very minimum anyone must have to make a business decision is all of the facts available. I lay my cards on the table, telling those involved what we have. For all of our creative projects for film and TV, we own and control unencumbered rights to stories, screenplays, scripts, episodes, bibles, LOC copyrights, LOIs... and I also say what we do not have.
I'm a very nice businesswoman, but do not mistake me for weak. I am the leader of an extremely creative team who gets the job done on time. My background of hard times when I was young allows me to remain calm, cool, and collected in any stressful environment. This naturally reduces stress for others while getting things accomplished.
I am highly organized and self-motivated. I know that it takes a production line of clever, talented people working with one another collaboratively to transform a creative idea to final screening. This is a very large team of creative individuals in the entertainment business. I'm more than capable of assembling, motivating, managing, advising, or just walking away knowing I have placed our creative work in good honorable hands.
Although we have every intention of being paid for our intellectual property, whether that payment is up front or on the back end does not matter. We are not greedy. Everyone needs to have an opportunity to a fair profit in a good business deal. Quality production and good business do matter.
It's more than accurate to say these same things that apply to me also are true of my team – my co-writer Matrix Filia and chief editor David E. Siar., Esq. We're well aware that we are seldom the smartest people in the room, so we listen, evaluate, and take solid advice. Working as partners in pursuit of ideas – only the best ideas – comes naturally to us.
After all, beyond a project’s initial creation, it's just business – the entertainment business.
