Yes, of course. just as well as in any other countries.
You have to write a script or book and then copyright it and sell it to them, if you don't copyright it and still send it to them, they can steal legally and copyright it themselves. If you want any money from it you have to write it and copyright it, then contact Lifetime afterwards to see if they are interested.
First, protect your script with a copyright. Then, you can pitch your story to producers, directors, actors and so forth -- people who can purchase your script. You can also enter screenwriting contests to get your story noticed. The market for film scripts is extremely competitive, and if your story is unique, interesting, and well-written, you may attract a buyer who can turn your script into a film.
It varies; sometimes the author and illustrator register as co-authors, and sometimes the rights are considered separately.
Information on copyrighting a short story is available through the government agency that oversees patents and trademarks. However, such an item falls under intellectual property and already comes with infringement protection.
Yes. Copyright attaches to original creative work. It is not something that you must register, but rather it is automatically created at the time that the work is authored. It is not necessary for the author to state that the work is subject to copyright for the copyright to exist. There might be some argument that the owner of the copyright impliedly granted a licence for use (e.g. posting script or code in a programming forum) but in other cases the retention of the copyright might be imperative to the owner (e.g. posting a story idea in a writing forum). Overall, you should act as if the work is copyrighted and give credit if you intend to quote or use the content.
Copyright.
You don't. Concepts & ideas do not qualify for copyright protection, only the perceptible expression of those concepts and ideas will. Write the story. Upon completion it will automatically gain copyright protection.
Research all the contact details you can and send a printed copy of your script. Before you send it, however, copyright it or register it, to protect your interests. As well, work with an attorney to craft a cover letter absolving Mr Lee of any conflict that may exist based on his reading of your script. (If he already has access to a script with basically the same story as yours, he doesn't want you to sue him.) In completing your research, look for contacts for his agent, his business manager, his attorney, his CPA and so forth. For example, you can pitch your script to producers and actors who work with Spike Lee. As an 'outsider', there is no guaranteed direct route to any celebrity. Competition for script-reading time is intense. But if you persist, and your script is absolutely top quality, you never know what can happen.
there is no written script of the story the fence
The difference between a play, a script, and a story is that a script is the words written out for the actors. The script will have words and direction written on it. A play is acted out on a stage. Actors in play use their bodies and voice to tell a story. A story can be in a book, or on television. It is the telling of a certain event.
maybe just type in the script for another Cinderella story and it'll be there. that's what im doing
