This is probably also your SAG agreement if you shoot a wild spot. Unlike national or cable ads, wild ads are ads that appear in more than 20 specific cities. Under this specific theatrical convention, you can only hire SAG-AFTRA actors as lead actors, and the first 57 background actors recruited must also be unionized. If your production requires more than 57 background actors, the 58th recruitment and beyond should not be unionized and are therefore not covered by the terms of the theatre contract. If you are considering hiring a Principal Performer or background actor (and not having hired 57 other substantive actors) who are not yet members of SAG-AFTRA, you have 30 days after signing the contract to submit the Taft-Hartley report to your representative, with a headshot and CV, in order to grant union status and comply with the contractual rules. Fortunately, we`ve put together this comprehensive guide that sticks to 2020 SAG rates so you can decide what you might owe a lead player. Even if this agreement is perfectly valid for your film, it is important to note that you must first release your film in theaters to qualify. If your movie is released directly on a streaming service like Hulu, your SAG scale rates may fall under New Media. Although the SAG Ultra Low Budget Agreement has three low-budget options, it only applies to films (and short films) that have $250,000 or less. Although there is no weekly SAG scale for ultra-low budget projects, SAG`s newscast rate is $125. It also requires a first theatrical publication.
All categories are subject to the existing basic agreement and the television broadcasting agreement. As part of the television agreement, actors and background actors are covered for their work on the shows that signed the SAG-AFTRA television agreement. As part of the television agreement, there is a required quota of 21 substantive actors, and for all non-union actors who are hired, and the 22nd and over productions of substantive actors should submit the corresponding report by Tft Hartley, accompanied by a headshot and a CV. Today, almost a hundred years later, SAG-AFTRA is still committed to organizing all work under their jurisdictions, negotiating the best wages, working conditions, health and retirement services, creating employment opportunities, enforcing contracts and protecting SAG-AFTRA members from unauthorized use of their work. However, the work of the Union is not possible without the cooperation of the hereditary industry, which is not part of the union, in particular the studio and production factories. Through collective agreements and subsequent contracts, SAG-AFTRA can govern and protect those who work in a performance role in the entertainment industry. This agreement also requires that the remains be paid in accordance with subsequent guidelines and tariff calculations in accordance with the basic agreement, as soon as the residual requirements are met and payment is to begin. For example, before one of its members could be recruited, SAG-AFTRA negotiated contracts (for example. B basic agreements) that set basic standards on issues such as wages, working time and conditions of employment that will need to be signed, agreed upon and respected by all those who wish to employ a MEMBER of SAG-AFTRA in the future. When a company becomes a signatory, it accepts the working conditions of professionals represented, protected and conservative under basic contracts. These include the Low Budget Moderate Project Agreement (MPA), which includes non-episodic content productions that have been shot between $300,000 and $700,000 for the total value of the United States.
