Pitch Bible, fully realsied Pilot, distibuter interested.. legal issues?

Well I think your pretty good with an official trademark and domain name, the only other thing you can do(if it was possible) is destroy all the animation piracy in lower-world countries, but good luck with that.

Hi there, you may remember me form a while back? Myself and some work collegues left our jobs in film and over 9months created a pitch bible, 2 scripts, and a fully animated section with voice actors etc.. shwoing how the show would look.

We've had a great reception form our fellow professionals and the target audience, we've sent the animated segment out through a few friends. We've had interest from a distributer and he wants us to post him the scripts and the pitch bible with all the character biog/concept art.

Should alarm bells be ringing?

We have the name as a registered trademark and the domain name, but other than that I'm now feeling we're a bit naked in terms of legal protection etc...

I'd basically like your collective advise on what we should have in place before we go any further to fully protect our Intellectual Property.

Should we get a lawyer to help explain everything to us so we understand what we need to do, I guess me and my collegues need a contract between ourselves, maybe make a compnay that we all own? As you can tell, we're not business men :)

also lock in all your scripts, story and treatment with the WGA or any other related authority.
