Class #1 6:40pm – 7:30 pm
Creating your own content? It’s not as easy as just writing a script, piecing together a cast and crew, grabbing a camera and shooting! It’s about professionals working with professionals after all…it is called Show Business not Show Art. This workshop will introduce you to the world of professional SAG-AFTRA actors and the many low budget Agreements that SAG-AFTRA has to offer filmmakers. There are Agreements for shorts, features, webisodes – you name it! Actors and filmmakers alike will find this information to be invaluable. Please join SAG-AFTRA actor Troy Pryor and Kathy Byrne, Director of TV/Theatrical for SAG-AFTRA Chicago.
What is SAG-AFTRA?
SAG-AFTRA brings together two great American labor unions: Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Both were formed in the turmoil of the 1930s, with rich histories of fighting for and securing the strongest protections for media artists. Our members united to form the successor union in order to preserve those hard-won rights and to continue the struggle to extend and expand those protections into the 21st century and beyond.
We are actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, dj’s, news writers, news directors, program hosts, puppeteers, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voiceover artists and other media professionals. Our work is seen and heard in theaters, on television and radio, sound recordings, the internet, games, mobile devices, home video: you see us and hear us on all media distribution platforms. We are the faces and the voices that entertain and inform America and the world.
