When you’re an independent filmmaker, you don’t have the resources that bigger entities have. It’s hard … but that doesn’t limit the story. If you have the story, you can get a talented professional [actor] to do it.
Darrien Michele Gipson
SAGindie Executive Director
Since 1997, SAGindie has been guided by one fundamental principle: Just because a film is low budget doesn’t mean it can’t feature top talent. In this episode of the podcast, SAGindie Executive Director Darrien Michele Gipson visits the studio to talk to hosts SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris and National Executive Director David White about SAGindie’s founding and its work to promote kinship between professional actors and independent filmmakers. Hear behind-the-scenes clips from this year’s Sundance Film Festival and learn how SAGindie’s continued support for on- and off-screen diversity and inclusion has played an integral role in the careers of some of today’s most recognizable filmmakers.
