When creatives come together to collaborate there is a project at the core that has drawn you together. The idea is to create a piece of work with a group of like minded friends or fellow practitioners.

The idea is a good one. The collaboration which brings together a wealth of skills, talent and experience is also accompanied by passion, vision and ego. It all starts in beautiful harmony.
The Fine Romance
In an ideal world every one contributes and a piece of unified creativity results in a production or film to feature on your CV or to include in your show reel. The public come to in their droves, the venue sells out, you cover your costs and the money that remains you share equally between you.

What is the Collaborators Network?
Art is not about making money. Collaborating is about creating something you couldn't make alone. The Collaborators Network is designed to ensure everyone gets what they are promised when the project wraps up and protects the project when work is in progress or when the creative differences and clashing egos crack the dream.

Contracts are essential for cohesion, boundary setting, intelectual property declarations and content ownership. When an idea forms and a collaborative project ignites everyone is equal. A full blown contract feels like you don't trust each other so you collaborate with trust and friendship.
