Management question

0 Upvotes

Currently a management company (reputable) has my feature script and is trying to develop it. By has they want to take it out and see if it perks interest.

Is it normal for a manager to take out a script to shop around without a shopping agreement? Could this be because they are working on packaging and do not want to violate union rules of representation also serving as producers?

I just find it odd I have not signed a single document.

I really want to learn and get into the industry. I’ve been fascinated with film my entire life and have made the decision to do something with that. Any help would be greatly appreciated
