Question: I'm an indie filmmaker!. I want to keep people updated on my next film!. But I don't want my ideas stolen
The short film I'm doing is very high-concept!. It isn't copyrighted!. I want to keep people updated without giving away too much, but I fear this idea might be taken!. Should I do a poor man's copyright and mail it to myself!? this is totally original!. The film will be complete by 2009 and I don't want people stealing ideas!. I know I should register the script with the writers guild, but in the meantime should I just shut up!? even being vague with descriptions tends to suggest things!. But maybe I'm just your typical paranoid writer/director, weigh inWww@Enter-QA@Com

I do idie films and other projects myself!. I even have a green screen!. But anyways my suggestion to you is channel it through a medium which will copyright it for you!. For example I make a podcast announcing my films!. iTunes in turn takes it and slaps a (c) copyright stamp with my name on it!. It's often much cheaper to! I spent about $10!.50 and they give me a life time of copyright rights to my material!. Or alternatively you can find similar things that will do it for you as well!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
