Producers who sign with SAG-AFTRA have access to the world's most talented and professional performers for their projects, but becoming signatory does require some paperwork.

Providing Financial Assurances is a subset of the signatory process for independent theatrical films and television movies, mini-series' and pilots an hour or longer. The Financial Assurances program is designed to help ensure performers are paid money owed to them under SAG-AFTRA contracts.  

The program takes the long view - to protect union members' interests throughout your project's life as it is exploited around the world, over multiple platforms and becomes part of one or more film libraries.
