Eric Gesualdo Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I have a contract that doesn't mention I will receive any back end on upon the selling of the film. Is that standard or should I argue for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 On a properly funded production DPs don't usually get a percentage of a film, they receive a fee for their work. You may get a percentage if the producers don't have the funds to pay you, however, don't expect to see anything if the film is sold, there's a lot of clever accounting that goes on.

That's what I had assumed, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being cut out of anything I would normally be entitled to. Thanks for the reply!
