For questions, concerns or clarification, of this Typical Industry Standard Screenplay Release Form which we have only made more in Your favor than what is standard, please contact info@screenplayreadinggroup.com. Remember for us at the MSRG it's just an Acting Workout. We're not a bunch of Producers and we have no interest in stealing your stuff. However, we have no interest in helping you out, getting contacted about a similar project and then having you sue us. RELEASE FORM TITLE: ________________________________________.
