I'm the director/producer/all-around-sufferer of a feature-length indie-film. I'm working on the contracts with my actors and I have a problem. I want to word the contracts the major actors star and co-stars sign such that they mean: "Said actor gets 15% of what's left over after the distribution company takes its cut." I can say it fine in common speech, but I need some way to phrase that such that it's a little more elegant and legally binding. Also if anybody knows a good place to find sample contracts: what-not... That would be great! All I can find is the SAG contracts, and I?m only working with non-SAG actors, so those are perfectly useless.

Welcome to filmmaking.net!
What's left over is called the "Producers Gross" or even ?net
profits? You are offering each actor 15% of 100% of the net
profits.
This would come under the ?Contingent Compensation? paragraph.
Far from perfectly usless, you can follow the SAG wording on this.
