SAGIndie and the SAG Foundation Present:

What\'s in it for me?
Acting in Low Budget Independent Films

"Is it okay if they make me change in a tent?"

"I just saw the movie I made three years ago in the video store. Shouldn\'t I get paid?"

"I can act in a non-union movie if I\'m a producer, right?"

Find out the answer to these questions and everything else you want to know about acting in indie films. Learn about the changes to the SAG low budget agreements and how they affect you as an actor. Learn about the state of independent film distribution and what you can reasonably expect from doing this kind of work. A panel of SAG and industry experts will explain everything and answer all your questions. NOTE: This workshop is designed for actors who want more information about ACTING in low budget films. If you want to learn about producing these films, you should attend one of SAGIndie\'s Signatory Workshops (www.sagindie.org).
