SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles - Spring 2018

SPRING 2019

A Letter From L.A. President Jane Austin

Seasoned self-starters gave SAG-AFTRA members a crash course in content creation at the MOVE L.A. Developing Your Own Projects: From Concept to Completion panel held at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 7.

Members Get Work by Creating Their Own Content

F

or over a century, actors from around the world have flocked to Hollywood in pursuit of a breakthrough role. Modern performers, however, have begun taking matters into their own hands by producing their own content to showcase their talent. L.A. Local members got a crash course in content creation at the MOVE L.A. panel Developing Your Own Projects: From Concept to Completion at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 7.

Organized and moderated by event chair Shea Scullin, the panel featured union contracts expert Jessica Johnson and a group of successful content creators. They included creator and star of the ABC digital series American Koko, Diarra Kilpatrick; awardwinning multihyphenate filmmaker and SAG-AFTRA L.A. Board member Elaine Loh; seasoned actor and WeMakeMovies film collective head of operations Aubrey Mozino; award-winning filmmaker Steven Calcote; and 50-year entertainment industry veteran Frank Crim.

When creating your own productions, the

SALA_Spring19_v13_FINAL.indd 1

first thing to consider is what your project’s message is and how to develop the concept.

Calcote stressed the importance of having a friend or peer group who can provide honest feedback and tell you what does and does not work. Content creation is a collaborative effort requiring community involvement not only for peer review, but also for social and professional support. L.A. is full of capable student actors, filmmakers and crew members looking for self-produced and student projects from which they can gain experience, Crim explained.

You will most likely need to fundraise, but do not let it deter you. Kilpatrick lauded the effectiveness of crowdfunding websites such as GoFundMe and pointed out the surprising power of simply asking for aid, especially when you can demonstrate work you have already done. Mozino added that creative peer groups like WeMakeMovies and NewFilmmakers L.A. are not only great places to network and meet fellow creators,

My Fellow Brothers and Sisters, Just like that, we are making our way into spring and witnessing 2019 begin to take shape!

Between our recent commercial contracts negotiations, the #AdsGoUnion campaign and the construction happening at SAG-AFTRA Plaza, I think it’s safe to say this year will be one of change, but as resilient members, change is something we know much about. When I began my career in 1987, I remember the union offered just a handful of contracts for classic mediums such as film and TV and now we have over 41 different contracts that make it easy for any project or job, regardless of budget or platform.

As you have read, SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative agreement on terms for successor television and audio commercials contracts, and the SAG-AFTRA National Board is recommending that members ratify it.

The tentative deal introduces an innovative and flexible alternative compensation model that specifically addresses the realities of the modern advertising business while preserving and enhancing opportunities for actors to have a professional career. It is incumbent upon every member to educate themselves on union contracts; therefore, I urge you to attend the upcoming informational meeting on April 24 at the Sheraton Universal. Check out page 7 for details.

Right now, we are facing studios, networks and stations consolidated under umbrella companies. Even tech and communications are coupling with entertainment. Streaming content dominates viewership and there is more content production than ever before. It is definitely a different ballgame but, fortunately, SAG-AFTRA is forward-thinking and works around the clock to embrace industry changes and cover every member working in front of a camera or behind a mic.

Last year saw the launch of SAG-AFTRA’s mobile app so members can have the resources of the union in their pockets. Features include contract information, access to programs, a residuals tracker, deals and discounts and instant access to all the latest news. We streamlined our website, launched a podcast and introduced selftaping to the L.A. Conservatory. Finally, L.A. Local Members are now able to enjoy direct deposit and staff have been utilizing QR code scanning for expedited event check-in. With so many new developments and events created for you every day, I cannot stress enough the importance of staying up to date with union news and equipping yourself with knowledge.

Over the past couple of years, the L.A. Local has offered more and more member education events covering new media, content creation and contract knowledge. After attending a few of these events, I was surprised how many members and producers are unaware that we cover podcasts, audiobooks and student, lowbudget and short projects. I encourage all L.A. members to sign up for our free seminars and panels.

Now more than ever, we need member solidarity and engagement to evolve with the industry and not cower from it. Streaming content has led to more opportunities, roles and viewing options but consequently has resulted in lower viewership, revenue and wages per show. Similarly, on-demand viewing allows audiences access to content anywhere, anytime and entire seasons all at once, but it has led to fewer episodes shot per season and a major shift in commercial marketing. Our union is addressing these issues and seeking solutions.

This is the new playing field and, if we intend to hold our ground, we must be ready to play. Well, I have something to say to the industry and all my fellow SAG-AFTRA members: We are 160,000 strong, professional and valuable performers who have worked tirelessly to get where we are and will stand unified in order to ensure the rights and wages we deserve.

I would like to take a moment to congratulate 2019 Ralph Morgan Award honorees Susan Boyd Joyce and Daryl Anderson, and recognize them for their many years of service to the members and our union. Both have made — and still make — invaluable contributions. They will be honored at the L.A. Local membership meeting on May 5 at Pickwick Gardens in Burbank.

Let’s stand together! Please join with me, L.A. Local Board members and our exceptional staff at the L.A. Local Board membership meeting on May 5 to learn more about what is going on at SAG-AFTRA and how you can get involved.

In solidarity,

Jane Austin

Hollywood’s Culture Change

S

ix accomplished performers discussed cultural perceptions, typecasting, inclusion and growing opportunities for black and female actors at a panel discussion at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 28. Moderated and organized by event chair and MOVE L.A. committee member Barbara Roberts, the Images of Black Women in Entertainment panel welcomed guest speakers Lavelle Roby, Deidrie Henry, Cleo King, Joyce Guy, Cheryl Francis Harrington and Délé Ogundiran.

This year’s SAG Awards saw Black Panther win for best ensemble and Regina King take home the award for best supporting actor, two major wins that reflect the positive upturn in casting and content diversity audiences have been asking for. Celebrating their peer’s wins, panelists pointed out the increasing opportunities opening up for black and female actors, both in roles and in content creation. Panelists reflected on specific instances throughout their careers of being typecast as nurses, social workers or gang moms and being asked in auditions to be more “spicy” or “urban.” While some panelists expressed reluctance to go for such roles, others lamented the stereotype but acknowledged that even those roles are, at times, notable and can lead to more work. While there are still obstacles to overcome, Roby observed, there have been positive changes that have emerged since she began her career in the 1960s. She applauded the bravery of young female actors who have shed light on controversial material and paved a road for women to share their stories.

Opportunities have blossomed for black female actors in recent years, both on the big and small screens, as new platforms emerge and the industry focuses more on diversity. Panelists reminded performers to work hard and stay authentic so that they will be prepared when the door opens.

but also provide extensive resources and information about gear, filming, contracts, insurance and more. Johnson added that the union is also here to help find a contract that fits your budget, help you get affordable workers’ compensation insurance and provide performance classes and workshops. She recommended productions call at least three weeks before shooting to ensure enough time for the process.

The discussion ended with panelists urging attendees to put fear aside and just go for it.

Women Do It First

S

AG-AFTRA members enjoyed a live staged reading of the new original musical Glass Ceilings with musical accompaniment, stage directions and a full cast at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 20. Hosted by the SAG-AFTRA L.A. Conservatory and organized by Conservatory Subcommittee member Jen Faith Brown, the event was the first live reading presented by the committee.

Director Jessica Gardner, co-author Nicholas David Brandt and composer Laura Watkins participated in a panel discussion with audience Q&A after the live reading.

All three thanked SAG-AFTRA and the L.A. Conservatory for the opportunity to present their project aloud and consider the different types of mediums in which to present it. New media, panelists explained, offers exciting opportunities for musical theater composers and a way for performers to reignite live performance in innovative

ways, such as through podcasts. The SAG-AFTRA performance gave 18 union members roles and allowed them to perform, get feedback and network. Attendees enjoyed a performance by their peers, networked and learned more about the programs the

union has to offer.

Glass Ceilings tells the stories of several female historical figures whose accomplishments have been buried under the shadow of similar triumphs from male counterparts.

Who’s in Your Video Games?

rominent interactive performers delivered the 411 on video game performing and shared advice for breaking into the industry at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 26. How to Level Up on Video Game Work! attendees had the opportunity to speak with panelists and try out popular union signatory video games. The event was a collaborative effort, organized by the NextGen Performers L.A. Subcommittee and the SAG-AFTRA Interactive Committee.

Dee Bradley Baker, America Young and

Sarah Elmaleh began by quashing the misconception that performance in interactive projects is the same as in film or TV, when in reality the voiceover and performance capture work involved in video game production is different in many ways.

Voiceover performers are often alone in a booth and asked to create abnormal, straining and theatrically heavy voice work, such as sound effects and animal sounds that require an actor to know how to care for his or her

voice. Similarly, acting work differs from its theatrical and TV counterparts, beginning with the sparsity of the set, which often only has basic props needed to create distinct motions, such as a chair for sitting. In both types of interactive work, the set and costumes live primarily in the performer’s imagination and, thus, both require the performer to have seasoned improvisational skills.

The objective of performance capture is to digitize nuanced movements such as facial expressions, walking and body language, which means that the performer uses their entire body to get the cuts. It also means performers can portray numerous characters, regardless of their look, age or ability.

Productions often capitalize on this by hiring a single performer for a full one-day shoot.

Panelists encouraged attendees who want to pursue a career in interactive work to research the production process, get familiar with the business and build relationships of their own with developers.

Luckily, for those trying to break in, L.A. is the center of interactive work right now, so you are in the right place!

Leading the Next Generation

S

AG-AFTRA young performers have been taking advantage of a unique opportunity to participate in the SAG-AFTRA L.A. Conservatory through a new slate of classes designed specifically for members under 18 years of age. Headed by Emmy-winning actor, director and Conservatory Curriculum Subcommittee member Elise Robertson, the L.A. Conservatory young performer curriculum includes classes on acting technique, auditioning, on-camera etiquette, social media and business.

This year’s programing kicked off on Jan. 12 with a script analysis class. Students learned to break scenes into beats, define actions, understand the overall arc of a scene and then practiced collaborating on scenes together in pairs. Soon after, on Feb. 9, Margie Haber and Hamish Sturgeon of Margie Haber Studios taught a TV and film auditioning class that asked students to try alternative memorization techniques for auditions.

Along with helping them hone their craft, the new curriculum focuses heavily on preparing the next generation of performers for the business side of the industry. On Jan. 26, Kevin E. West, author of 7 Deadly Sins - The Actor Overcomes, taught young performers and their parents about contracts, working with agents and managers, and advice for guiding children through entertainment careers. On March 9, Ryan Walker, founder of the social media firm TSMA, discussed how social media can help or hurt a performer’s career, effective ways to grow a following and serious faux pas to avoid.

Lastly, on Feb. 23, young performers were introduced to industry terminology and techniques for playing to the camera, playing off fellow actors, effective improvisation and reading from a cue card.

These new young performer programs are available, through the L.A. Conservatory, for the low yearly payment of $45. For a limited time, the conservatory is offering its young performer programs to all SAG-AFTRA young performer members regardless of conservatory membership. Keep an eye on your weekly emails to learn about upcoming events.

For more information, contact the SAG-AFTRA L.A. Conservatory at conservatory@sagaftra.org or (323) 856-7736.

If you are looking for other young performer activities, visit lookingaheadprogram.org to check out The Actors Fund’s Looking Ahead program.

The SAG-AFTRA Radio Plays committee in conjunction with the NextGen Performers Subcommittee walked SAG-AFTRA members through what it takes to create a podcast.

The panel took place at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 12.

Radio Plays Go Podcast Crazy

T

he SAG-AFTRA Radio Plays Committee broke from its regularly scheduled radio play revivals and began 2019 with a comprehensive presentation on podcasts co-hosted by the NextGen Performers Subcommittee at SAG-AFTRA Plaza on Feb. 12. A popular type of new media platform, podcasts have continued to grow rapidly since first gaining traction in the early 2000s. Committee members discussed a wide range of topics about the medium, including a concise history, concept development, production and best marketing practices.

Often formatted as talk-show-style shows, podcasts are episodic, available for subscription and often free, making them the perfect forum for any topic or genre.

Panelists explained that the first step to creating a podcast is choosing a concept. They suggested starting with a broad topic such as sports, then honing in on a specific perspective such as SoCal all-stars in order to make the show unique and present audiences with something new. It is important to consider who your target audience is and listen to similar podcasts and competitors for research.

Once ready to begin production, inexpensive and free programs such as GarageBand, Twisted Wave, Reaper and Audacity can be used to record and produce audio files, which makes creating professional-quality podcasts fun and low cost. Panelists recommended investing in additional gear such as microphones, pop filters and headphones, which can all be purchased for under $200 and ensure a professional sound. The committee also reminded attendees that the SAG-AFTRA L.A. Conservatory and SAG-AFTRA Foundation offer members free classes and resources for recording projects and self-taping.

Additionally, the union makes it easy to get your show produced under the podcast agreement through the same steps as you would for any new media project. To expedite the process, you can contact the New Media Department’s podcast representatives at NMPodcasts@sagaftra.org.
