WGA eases credit standard for screenplays
LOS ANGELES, (UPI) -- The Writers Guild of America said its members have approved support for a new uniform standard for giving credit on non-original screenplays.
The Los Angeles Times reported that means producers and directors should have an easier time getting credit on screenplays.
Eight-seven percent of writers guild members approved the change, the newspaper said.
Under current rules, a writer who is also a producer must contribute more than half of the writing to get screenplay credit, the Times said, as apposed to the third simple writers must contribute.
A guild committee determined that the old rule was outdated because so many writers now also serve as producers or directors.
