It’s easier than ever to use SAG-AFTRA professionals: SAG-AFTRA has developed a new way to make hiring union performers on corporate/educational and non-broadcast productions a breeze. Not only do producers get more flexibility when using SAG-AFTRA performers, they’ll have access to new, simplified rates available in the New England market for the first time.
Flexible Hiring: Producers can choose a cast composed of both union performers and others in any manner they like. SAG-AFTRA rates are only paid to the professional performers that are hired. This also gives members opportunities to use the waiver to flip Co/Ed projects from non-union to union.
Faster Production: Producers can get the work done quicker and better with a SAG-AFTRA narrator by using new reduced rates for multiple voiceover productions that take place in the same session. Talented SAG-AFTRA performers can get the job done in less time and add polish and professionalism to the productions.
Simplified Rates: Now there’s no need to navigate the re-use rate structure. There’s a single, reduced supplemental use rate for all Co/Ed projects, which includes basic cable, non-network TV, theatrical, foreign markets, sale/rental to industry and integration/customization use.
Easy Payment: Corporate/Educational projects can easily be processed through a talent paymaster service.
