    Confidentiality Agreement

    Hi everyone,

    As we go forward with the class, we need everyone here to acknowledge their agreement to the Group Confidentiality form. The purpose here is to protect yourself, each other and to make this a safe environment where you’ll be able to work on the most marketable concept you have without worry.

    The release form does all of those things and it also makes whatever we work on in this class confidential. Once everyone has acknowledged their agreement on the forums, we’ll have a safe environment where we can all focus on our writing, instead of worrying about protection.

    This Group Confidentiality Agreement covers the entire class.

    I highly recommend that you agree to this confidentiality agreement so you can participate in all the group feedback.

    Remember, the more you interact with this group, the stronger your relationships will be after the class is concluded. Those relationships can translate into career success, so they are valuable to cultivate.

    See you then,

    Hal

    Below is the release form. You have one of two choices here:

    AGREE, in which case, you Reply to this topic and include three things at the top of the page:

    1. Your name.

    2. The words “I agree to the terms of this release form.”

    3. Please leave the entire text below to confirm what you agree to.

    OR

    NOT AGREE, in which case, you hit “Reply to this topic” and type in the words “I’ll do the class privately.”

    If you agree to the terms of the release form, then you can post your assignments into the group and your cohort can give feedback on them.

    Also, if you don’t agree to this group confidentiality agreement, you’ll still need to sign an agreement that says you will keep the strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential.

    GROUP RELEASE FORM

    As a member of this group, I agree to the following:

    1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.

    2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.

    I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.

    3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.

    4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

    5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.

    6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.

    This completes the Group Release Form for the class.

    I agreed to the confidentiality statement and introduced myself in forum…why isn’t the class available? When I paid for it in December it said it was starting in January. Now it says April? I can’t wait that long.

      Hi Laure, I’m confused about this course as well. I have replayed some assignments, and nobody has given me feedback, so I don’t exactly understand how it works. What do you say it starts in April?
