You can broadcast your new media production after the first new press release without the prior agreement of your actors or against deletion beyond the new media; However, the remainder is paid for the use of Made for New Media productions in traditional media, based on existing sag, AFTRA or SAG-AFTRA formulas. SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) is a trade union, representing more than 160,000 film and television actors, radio actors, video games, advertisers (radio and television), news presenters, singers and recorders (both royalty artists and background singers), actors in commercials and actors who work as stuntmen and as special acts. It works to protect the interests of its members and to improve wages, working hours and working conditions. To this end, SAG-AFTRA has concluded a number of contractual agreements that apply when one of its members participates in a production. Therefore, if you wish to include a SAG-AFTRA member in your production, you must become a “signatory” of the corresponding SAG AFTRA agreement and accept its terms. Let`s be clear, SAG-AFTRA members cannot work for you unless you are signatories to the corresponding SAG-AFTRA agreement. Unfortunately, most new media producers don`t realize that SAG-AFTRA covers all forms of media, including low-budget online productions. This article offers a quick overview of the New Media Agreement, including when you need it and what it asks of you as a producer.
Unlike other agreements concluded by the signatories, the New Media Agreement does not require a minimum remuneration. Initial compensation is fully negotiable under the SAG-AFTRA New Media agreement for productions that do not meet the high budget threshold. While there are no minimum requirements under the agreement, note that local, state, and federal minimum wage laws continue to apply. Payment is due no later than five working days from the date of work to the performer. Sag Pension and Health or AFTRA Health and Retirement Contributions are due to the initial negotiated compensation of 17%. Bob Zeglarski can be reached at 615-933-3545 or [email protected].
