SAG-AFTRA has officially released the full contract that was agreed upon by its members and the Hollywood production giants. The document, which spans 129 pages, looks to ensure that actors and other members of the performance arts world represented by the body are better compensated for their work, all while being better protected from their likes being used by AI in future projects.
The contract gives a very detailed glimpse into the intricacies of the entertainment industry and the various paths that must be navigated in regard to TV shows being re-aired on broadcast and being used on streamers, as well as in regard to stunt performers being compensated for their dangerous efforts. Needless to say, if you've been interested in getting into the world of film and TV law, this document will no doubt be a fascinating read.
The document does note that it will terminate on June 30, 2026, meaning we can likely expect complications in production in a few years time while another agreement is organised.
