In this episode of the podcast Jan Arado talks about her recent screenplay option to a producer. Since this is her first option, she has lots of questions about how option agreements work and what should be in them. So I thought it might be interesting to let her ask me questions about her option agreement and have me answer them for you on a podcast episode, as I'm sure other people probably have similar questions.
