Mitchell,
very good point,
$3500 is the price, $235 is the rate, therefore,
it is 14+ hours for reading 8 pages and giving your comments.
I say it's reasonable, and all I need from you is your model release.
I will come with the filming crew,
we'll make a movie how lawyer works, all the intricacies of working on 8 page document already written by another lawyer with MY best interests in mind.
I got the advance on this movie already and what the heck,
$3500 is small price to pay for all the money I'll make when this movie hits the ABC, CBS and I heard BBC from UK is intersted as well.
I'm sure we'll have 2 weeks hourly special out of it,
the whole world will be waiting to see the next episode, and blow Sopranos ratings out of the waters!
I'll have clock ticking in the background,
and I guarantee you the HUGE success!
LMK when we can start,
I'll push the timing button as soon as I hand you the documents.
LMK when,
I need 3 days to assemble the filming crew together.
yours truly,
Serge, the producer of the NEXT hit of the 21st century!
P.S. you WAIVE all the royalties, including but not limited the use of your likeness in the future Reebok and Rolex commercials!
I hope this won't become a deal breaker
