Yes we can help you with your film with one caveat. You may recall that I am in the Screen Actors Guild and so, I must adhere to the guild rules which prohibits me from being in a non-sag production. However, SAG has a number of Low-Budget status production classifications which allow you to do the movie as a SAG movie but you can defer any payments. What that means is that unless your production goes 'Blair Witch Project', style (ie: makes a lot of unexpected profit), that you can work with ANY SAG talent (and they with you), but do not have to pay the talent unless you make money on the production.
Hmm,, my husband is a sag member, too. But he has never mentioned that guild rules before, I should ask him. But they get, I don't know, depends on how much people made in their movies or the profits, thousands of money every three months or so. Of course, through Sag. I think you need to exchange contracts with Sag on Short film agreement.
