  Writing one yourself is never a good idea. If you're willing to pay, why not hire a lawyer?
  
  There are places on the net where you can find boilerplate, for example [FilmContracts](http://www.filmcontracts.net/) and [FilmMakerIQ](http://filmmakeriq.com/2009/04/588-free-film-contracts-and-forms/), but if there's real money involved your smartest move is to get local legal advice.
