Even though I 'could' just get someone to shoot it, I would rather share the risk 'and' reward with someone else. It's a 2 way street. If the content producer thinks it a dumb niche, then ultimately I wouldn't shoot it. I haven't had the chance to bounce the niche off of a lot of people because of the 'first to the market' concerns so there are obviously somethings that I might not be considering. So once an NDA is signed, I can talk freely about the idea and get a group synergy of interest behind it before proceeding. I would rather have this type of assurance for this project than doing it solely on my own.

It's just my prerogative, that's all
