LaTrena S. Mitchell, L.L.C.
MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY (NDA)
Working draft · September 18, 2026 · Not legal advice

Before pages, treatments, or a true story leave either side’s hands.
Sign this first when the file is private. It does not hire the desk; a services agreement still has to open.

1. Parties
This mutual NDA is between LaTrena S. Mitchell, L.L.C. and ________________ (“Counterparty”), dated ______________.

2. Confidential information
Scripts, treatments, true-story notes, budgets, cast lists, and unpublished manuscripts either party marks or that a reasonable writer would keep in the vault. Public facts, magazines already printed, and information independently developed are not confidential.

3. Care
Each party will use the other’s pages only to decide whether to work together, or to perform a signed services agreement. No posting, no shopping the other party’s file to a third producer without written leave.

4. Term
Three years from the date above, or until the information is lawfully public. Return or destroy the file on written request, except one archive copy the desk may keep as proof of what was read.

5. No license
Reading a file is not a grant of copyright, option, or writing credit.

6. Law
Arkansas law governs. Notices: Editing_Writing@latrena-mitchell.com.
