If you have founded a film production company (GmbH) and would like to hire a screenwriter for a screenplay (such as for a miniseries "unorthodox" on Netflix), how much can I expect? So how much would the screenwriter ask?
If you're lucky, he won't ask for anything. There are many unknown screenwriters who just can't get rid of their books. Nobody wants to film something of them. Now if you say with your small production company that you want to try his script and the series is a success, he will have it easier with other scripts that sell to a producer.
You can also participate in the profit instead of a fee.
I mean if the author should write something new?
Put an ad on: "Young production company is looking for committed screenwriters for mini series. Minimal fee, but high profit sharing." Then you can see if anyone is reporting
You really can't say that. If you have an experienced author, a normal TV series will be between 8,000 and 12,000 euro. But it also depends on how the material is prepared, i.e. Whether the idea / story / characters are already there. If not, that's a lot more work.
Possibly. Can you work with a film school or drama school.
So much for the entire series or for an episode?
One episode.
