Simple Information. This is America. “You do not need to be a Guild or Union Shoot to Produce a Movie”… Plus, there are 1,000s of writers, actors & directors looking for their first feature film credit… and you are offering it..
Yes, Writers Guild (WGA), Directors Guild (DGA) and Actors Guild (SAG) have Low-Budget Agreements but “this is America and you can hire who you want to, when you want to, with the only laws being minimum wage and workers compensation”…. Happy Filmmaking .
