Now that you have interest from a production company to move forward on the project you just pitched them, before a single network meeting can be set, a shopping agreement must first be negotiated and signed between the parties. During Shop Talk, a panel discussion with agents, lawyers, and producers at this year’s Realscreen Summit will walk you through the major deal points of the shopping agreement.
