Chicago

 

 

No gymnastics skills necessary, but knowledge is power when it comes to flipping a job from non-union to union. Often times professional SAG-AFTRA performers are offered an audition or job...that's non-union. Learn from fellow members and staff how to successfully turn that non-union job to union, so you and others can keep on working.

You will learn how to get the messaging right:

*What questions to ask

*How to be a conduit between you and the producer and between you and your agent.

*Back to basics and more

 

Sean Hennessy, Manager-Commercial & Corp/Ed and Kathy Byrne, Director of TV/Theatrical at SAG-AFTRA Chicago, will host a panel that will include members who have successfully flipped jobs. Be prepared, this will be an interactive event.

 

We will have a realistic conversation on flipping shorts/low budget films, web series and  corporate videos, etc.
