SAG-AFTRA National Director, Entertainment Contracts
Over the last few years, SAG-AFTRA has created different contracts for smaller-scale projects, including the latest, the Micro-Budget Project Agreement, which shortens the signatory process while granting exhibitions at film festivals and on streaming platforms. Whether you’ve been interested in working on a low-budget project or creating your own, know that the union has you covered!
To outline more about Micro, SAG-AFTRA podcast hosts SAG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Ben Whitehair and National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland are joined by SAG-AFTRA National Low Budget Committee Chair Stacey Travis and SAG-AFTRA National Director, Entertainment Contracts Jessica Johnson. They talk about the benefits of working under the agreement for rising filmmakers, content creators and union members, as well as its provisions and protections. Also covered are FAQs about allowable exhibitions, payment deferments and filming stunt and intimate scenes.
