Dear Arizona-Utah Member,
Happy summer! As the weather heats up, I am grateful for how busy our Local has been! Did you know that in 2023, Arizona had 56 SAG-AFTRA productions, including 16 commercials, and Utah had 47 productions, including eight commercials? This year started with a bang too; I’ve loved meeting many of you on commercial and new media sets this spring.
I look forward to meeting more members at our annual Utah membership meeting in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Aug. 17. Please RSVP here to let us know you’re planning to attend.
In our last local newsletter, you may have noticed an article on our Micro Budget Agreement titled How Can I Work in Indie Films? I hope you found that information helpful. As part of our ongoing organizing efforts, we'll be featuring information about a SAG-AFTRA contract in every issue of our newsletter. Going forward, we're going to call them "AZ-UT Contract Corner" articles, and they are posted on the local’s news page. If audiobook narration work interests you, I hope you'll take a moment to learn about the resources available to you by reading this new article, AZ-UT Contract Corner - Audiobooks.
As a reminder, Arizona-Utah Local events are always posted on our local pages on the SAG-AFTRA website here, and emails are sent out to the addresses on file. If you aren’t seeing the emails, be sure to whitelist and add sagaftracommunications@sagaftra.org to your contact list. (And, monitor your junk/spam regularly as emails sometimes end up there.)
Finally, check out these great news items to see what our Local has been up to!
