Hi all!
Does anyone know about this Fellowship (Through the Blacklist)? In the Submission agreement, they have this (photo below).
Does that mean that they can use your script/ideas/etc without any compensation? Or just that they may have other projects similar to your and if that's the case then they're protected?
Any help anyone can offer is really appreciated! Thanks!

Been gorging filmmaking podcasts to power my pandemic work outs. Am starting to run out!
Would appreciate some recommendations, for both shows and specific episodes.
I'm into directors and producers discussing their work, their experiences in making films, and the films that influenced them, not so much deep dives, analysis and criticism.
Some shows I really like:
Love the DGA Podcast, where they have directors interviewing other directors.
The Producer's Guide with Todd Garner is very educational, I recommend it most to working / want to be working film people.
Film at Lincoln Center has a deep stash, as does Museum of Moving Image.
It's ridiculous that Team Deakins even exists.
Some episodes I really like:
Dallas Buyers Club Producer: Cassian Elwes! The Producer's Guide: Todd Garner & Hollywood's Elite
Indie Film Giant: Cassian Elwes! The Producer's Guide: Todd Garner & Hollywood's Elite
^These interviews with Cassian Elwes are especially great.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!
