Hi Cecilia, My guess is that no one on Frameworks knows the answer. It¹s a community of experimental filmmakers, so I doubt anyone has optioned a book.
I think better luck might be found through lists or organizations dealing with independent filmmaking of a more narrative feature variety, like FIND (Film Independent). Or maybe a google search would find sites dealing with legal issues for filmmakers. There was definitely a site, whose name escapes me, that I learned of through a documentary email list, that had a variety of contract templates for very low cost. While I try to find its name, I found this, which is different and may or may not be right. New Media Rights (NMR) provides pro bono legal resources and its free media studio to creators - artists, filmmakers, podcasters, citizen journalists, bloggers, open source software projects, as well as nonprofits. http://www.newmediarights.org <http://www.newmediarights.org/> A Google search for ³legal forms for filmmakers² led to lots, such as this page; https://nofilmschool.com/2016/08/grab-every-filmmaking-form-youll-ever-need- these-99-free-templates On which I see that #3 is literary option.

Dear Frameworks, I sent an email a few days ago asking if anyone had information on how to option a book - if anyone knew of best type of contract for a small film, or had experience. I haven't seen it posted, so I was wondering if that's not the type of topic that goes out? Please let me know. Thanks!
