Fall / Winter 2018

A Letter From L.A. President Jane Austin

•••

SAG-AFTRA members Schuyler Helford and Josh Groban, SAG-AFTRA L.A. 1st Vice President Patricia Richardson, front, SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer and L.A. Local President Jane Austin, SAG-AFTRA members Suzy Nakamura and Rose Abdoo, and SAG-AFTRA L.A. Board members Kate Flannery and Patrick Fabian rallied the troops outside of the L.A. offices of BBH on Sept. 27.

SAG-AFTRA Shows Teeth

N

early 1,000 SAG-AFTRA performers made their voices heard while picketing outside of the Los Angeles offices of ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty on Sept. 27.

The massive gathering was a response to the advertising agency’s illegal abandonment of its contract with SAG-AFTRA, after being a signatory of the Commercials Contracts for the past 20 years.

The collective power of these performers, along with the massive inflatable “union rat” commonly used in U.S. trade union protests, was so impressive it inspired countless supportive responses from passing vehicles and pedestrians on bustling Melrose Avenue.

Performers filled the sidewalk around the BBH offices, chanting in unison their

commitment to ensuring fair wages, safe sets and respect for professional performers. The action garnered attention from major national entertainment publications such as Variety, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, sending a clear message to BBH and the advertising industry that SAG-AFTRA members stand together in solidarity to oppose the exploitation of performers.

BBH’s attempt to break its contract with SAG-AFTRA is a direct threat to our Commercials Contracts, the health of our union, and the stability of our retirement, pension and health plans. Every member must be unwavering in their support of this strike, whether on social media or in conversations TEETH continues on page 2

My Fellow Brothers and Sisters, As we approach the end of 2018 and prepare for the holidays, I wish to express my greatest thanks to all SAG-AFTRA L.A. members for making this another accomplished year to be proud of. A record number of you diligently attended our recent wages and working conditions meetings to share what aspects of the Commercials Contracts are most important to you. This is such an important member responsibility and significantly contributes to the success of our negotiating teams.

On a more solemn note, my thoughts and prayers go out to all our union brothers and sisters affected by the wildfires afflicting California, my home state. Profound thanks to the firefighters and first responders who heroically saved lives in our community. The Motion Picture & Television Fund is offering financial assistance and support. They can be reached at (323) 634-3888. Additionally, the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and SAG-AFTRA Motion Picture Players Welfare Fund have a disaster relief fund for impacted SAG-AFTRA members and their families. For more information, visit ActorsFund.org/GetHelp or call (323) 933-8244, ext. 455. Both funds are also accepting monetary donations.

Circling back to the accomplishments of the year, I must applaud the new Stunt Coordinator Standards Eligibility Process, scheduled to launch in 2020. This marks AUSTIN continues on page 2

the first-ever professional standards in stunts by allowing prospective and established stunt coordinators to apply for inclusion in a vetted SAG-AFTRA online registry. While this is not a qualification process, we hope it initiates a baseline standard for coordinators that leads to safer sets. The program will also include a volunteer mentoring and apprentice stunt coordinator opportunity.

This year also gave SAG-AFTRA the opportunity to strengthen our leadership in the commercials industry. Bartle Bogle Hegarty, a company signed to the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts for almost 20 years, is refusing to honor its legal obligations and is shooting nonunion. I cannot express my gratitude and awe of the nearly 1,000 fellow union members who joined SAG-AFTRA leadership on the front lines of this strike, rallying in front of the BBH Los Angeles office in September. We demonstrated that we are united in our efforts to keep commercials union, and I implore all of you to maintain that same energy for future actions.

A special shout-out to our background actor community that has been reaping the benefits derived from California’s new tax incentives and the subsequent increase of production in Los Angeles. Union background actors’ employment has increased 22.4 percent since the 2014 incentives went into effect, and I can only hope that sets a growing trend, and one day all our background actors can be employed.

Finally, I’d like to wish every Los Angeles Local member a safe and prosperous holiday season. This year has proven we have so much to be thankful for and reminds us to stand strong together. Let’s bring that attitude with us into the next year and one-up our past successes. I look forward to seeing you at our annual Winter Celebration on Dec. 12 at SAG-AFTRA Plaza (see page 8).

Have a joyous holiday season SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles family!

with fellow performers, agents and anyone in the commercials industry.

The union will always be stronger when members stick together and entities such as BBH remain steadfast in their dedication to using professional union actors.

More mobilization efforts have been taking place all over the country, and SAG-AFTRA L.A. 2nd Vice President David Jolliffe and SAG-AFTRA will continue until BBH members Dominic Oliver and Elliott Gould picket in solidarity with agrees to honor its legal nearly 1,000 fellow union members outside of the L.A. offices of BBH. and ethical responsibilities.

Show up, raise your voice colleagues for updates with this strike and and contribute to union solidarity at our #AdsGoUnion by checking sagaftra.org public actions. Help us let BBH know that the regularly, reading your emails and connecting membership of SAG-AFTRA is united and with us on social media. will not be undermined.

Industry Relations Covers Your Bases

S

AG-AFTRA’s Industry Relations Department has been on fire, delivering one-of-a-kind exclusive industry panels right and left this year! Have you been looking to hear from a casting director, producer, cast member or representative? Look no further!

In May, well-known comedy maven, showrunner and proud SAG-AFTRA member Jay Kogen counseled a packed house of members to “mine their lives for material.” In August, Lorrie Bartlett, the head of ICM’s talent department and the first African-American

woman to head a department at a major agency, advised 200-plus guests, “You don’t actually have to know someone for them to be your mentor.” In September, producers, writers and the cast of the 1989 cult film Shag joined us for a screening of the film, followed by a riotous, fun discussion. The main takeaway was do what you love and the rest takes care of itself. Don’t miss out on these future panels. Watch your emails and app for invites to upcoming Let’s Talk About It: Inside the Industry events.

SAG-AFTRA Supports Indie Film

S

AG-AFTRA began offering the Short Project Agreement to independent producers of short entertainment content on Aug. 1. The introduction of the Short Project Agreement represents a new approach to independent production in recognition of the changing patterns of exhibition of low-budget short projects, and we are excited to tell you all about it.

Historically, when an independent producer wanted to sign a short project to a SAG-AFTRA agreement, they had a choice to make prior to starting the SAG-AFTRA signatory process: Were they intending to exhibit at film festivals or on a free-toconsumer new media platform? The answer was often along the lines of, “I don’t know.

Either? Both? Wherever I can!” The Short Project Agreement takes away this threshold question by allowing producers to initially exhibit their content at film festivals, freeto-consumer new media (like YouTube or Vimeo), for Academy Award consideration and/or for one year on public access television. If the project is then exhibited

anywhere else, including DVDs, subscription video on demand (like Netflix or Hulu), television or movie theaters, it is considered “subsequent use” and could mean that residuals are due to principal performers.

In order to qualify under the Short Project Agreement, projects must have a budget of $50,000 or less, a running time of 40 minutes or less, no more than 30 days of principal photography, and must be shot entirely in the United States and its territories.

Additionally, the Short Project Agreement is generally not applicable to things like student projects, series, public service announcements, commercials and animated projects.

When working on a short project, all principal performers should be covered by a SAG-AFTRA contract. That’s also true of the first 10 background actors per day when filming in background-covered zones.

While initial compensation is negotiable, if the project does become exhibited on any subsequent use platform, any deferred payments would become due.

Many of the working conditions you are

used to under predecessor agreements still apply, such as a 12-hour nightly turnaround, meal breaks every six hours, and mileage reimbursement at a rate of 30 cents per mile.

The introduction of this agreement marks the retirement of the Short Film Agreement and will take the place of the Low Budget New Media Agreement for non-episodic projects. The Short Project Agreement responds to the needs of our members and filmmakers creating content in the shortform space.

This agreement is co-administered by the Theatrical Contracts and Television & New Media Entertainment Contracts Departments.

For more information, visit sagaftra.org. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the inquiry line at (323) 549-6680 or email SPAinfo@sagaftra.org. If a production is ready to start the signatory process, please direct them to the Short Project Agreement preliminary information sheet available under the New Media and Theatrical contracts sections of the sagaftra.org website.

Mobile Filmmaking for Members S AG-AFTRA members learned how to make low-cost, high-quality films with their cell phones at the Call to Create Part 2 – Mobile Filmmaking workshop on Aug. 28 at SAG-AFTRA Plaza. It was the second workshop in a series of collaborations between the L.A. Local Ethnic Employment Opportunities committee and the NextGen Performers Subcommittee that introduces a diverse group of members to creating their own content.

The two-part program began with a review of the best apps and gear available to easily create professional-level content on a mobile device. Mobile filmmaking allows actors to take control of their careers and make their own opportunities by eliminating barriers of entry such as large budgets, complicated gear or large crews.

NextGen Performers Subcommittee Vice Chair Aubrey Mozino, who doubles as the head of operations at the film collective We Make Movies, brought WMM Founder and CEO Sam Mestman and WMM Head of Production Eric M. Kochmer to assist her in demystifying the art of producing

a professional-grade project. “If Steven Soderbergh can do it, so can you!” pointed out Mozino, referring to Soderbergh’s 2018 psychological thriller, Unsane, shot entirely on the iPhone 7 Plus.

The three presented the gear and apps needed to turn your phone into a high-quality 4K camera. These tools start at a much lower price point than the equivalent accessories needed for high-end cameras associated with professional productions. For instance, apps like FilmicPro ($15, available for both Android and iPhones) allow you to completely customize and adjust the camera settings on your phone such as white balance, resolution, aspect ratios and audio levels, and can turn your phone into a high-definition broadcastready device. The Apogee Metarecorder app ($5, iPhone only), used in conjunction with smartphone-compatible gear like Sennheiser ClipMic Digital Mobile Lavs ($200) or a RODE VideoMic GO as a boom mic ($100) can record high-quality audio from multiple external sources. Additionally, ancillary gear like wide-angle or telephoto lenses are

available for less than $50 and portable LED lights like the Aputure AL-M9 go for $45.

These all easily attach to a phone via mobile media cases like the Ulanzi, available for $11.

The workshop inspired audience members with the opportunities attainable with lowcost equipment. At the mixer following the presentation, numbers were exchanged, relationships made and project ideas born.

Dialogue on Disabilities I

n the past few decades, the entertainment industry has cultivated a growing advocacy for more diverse casting and content.

While this undertaking has produced more accurate depictions of everyday life, performers with disabilities have been left behind. To bring attention to the community, the MOVE L.A. Committee, led by committee and event Chair Ellen Crawford, hosted its Committed to Diversity? Look at our (Dis)Abilities! panel, focusing on the talents and struggles of these performers at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Aug. 16.

Moderated by actor Mark Povinelli (Are You There, Chelsea?) the discussion brought together union performers CJ Jones (Baby Driver), John Lawson (American Horror Story) and Donna Russo (Donna on the Go), as well as KMR talent agent Gail Williamson and director-producers Rosser Goodman and Peggy O’Rourke.

Panelists encouraged performers to go out, network and share the most interesting, compelling and even funny aspects of living with disabilities with fellow filmmakers and entertainment peers. As others learn how fascinating and impactful these performers’ lives are, more interest will build and peers will want to collaborate. Disabilities are just another outlet and should be looked at as a unique characteristic that impacts a performer’s craft in a way few can experience. Share it and embrace it.
