An arbitrator ruled that producers are NOT agents of the studios, and thus any rewrite a writer for a producer is outside the writer's contract with the studio. If a producer asks a writer to make changes in a draft, the studio is under no obligation to pay for those changes. If a writer wants to be paid, he or she should simply turn in a draft to the executive named in the contract and ask for payment. (Source: WGA.com)
Every payment to a writer needs to be accounted for in the film budget. Check QuickFilmBudget.com for a sample film budget.
