SAG Resources For Independent Filmmakers

At the annual Produced By Conference in Los Angeles, the Screen Actors Guild, the union that represents acting talent, unveiled a number of interesting resources for independent filmmakers.  On a panel on producing indie features, SAGIndie national director Darrien Michelle Gipson focused on SAG’s low-budget agreements, which gives lower-budget filmmakers access to bigger name (and unionized) acting talent. SAG deputy national executive director Ray Rodriguez pointed to a variety of online resources offered by the guild, including SAG’s new online Production Center: http://www.SAG.org/SAGProductionCenter
