Some independent films and television productions are being granted waivers by the union that will allow them to continue, with Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists actors, amid the strike.
The actors and writers strikes have resulted in most Hollywood film and television productions being shut down, from the "Gladiator" sequel to the live action "Lilo & Stitch." But some independent films and television productions are being granted waivers by the union that will allow them to continue, with Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists actors, amid the strike.
There are numerous independent production companies that aren't affiliated with the AMPTP, and they are allowed to film with SAG-AFTRA actors during the strike. They must agree to terms that the union proposed during negotiations on July 12, which includes a new minimum wage rate that's 11% higher than before, guarantees about revenue sharing and AI protections.
"I love this movie but I do not feel that it would be appropriate for this production to move forward during the strike," Davis said in a statement. "G20" though independently financed, was set to be distributed by Amazon Studios, which is an AMPTP member.According to the union's chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, there are several benefits of the interim agreement to SAG-AFTRA members.
"I've heard from studio sources that they are unhappy with us doing this," he said. "That sort of confirms to me that the strategy is in the right place, because when the people you're on strike against aren't happy that you're doing something, that probably means that it's a tactic that's having an impact.
