2022 Commercials Contract Bulletin

“Extras who are required to be passengers in vehicles engaged in stunt driving shall be paid an additional Commercial Extra Performer Unlimited Use or Initial 13-Week Use session fee (as applicable based upon their engagement) as set forth in Schedule D.III.6.A. The foregoing shall be subject to the assessment of the qualifications of performers to be passengers in vehicles engaged in stunt driving, applicable insurance requirements (if any), performer safety considerations, and compliance with the Stunt Driving Guidelines.”

 

The requirement of an additional extra session fee is triggered only when the vehicle in which the extra is required to be a passenger is “engaged in stunt driving.” In other words, one or more of the Stunt Driving Guidelines set forth at Sch. A.I.EE.9 of the Commercials Contract must be triggered for the extra to be entitled to the double scale payment. It is not sufficient that the driver of the vehicle is engaged as a stunt driver if the vehicle is not in fact “engaged in stunt driving.” 

 

Should any questions arise regarding the interpretation of this provision, please contact Claudette Singh at (323) 549-6858.

 

Thank you.
