NEGOTIATING THE ACTOR AGREEMENT

May 26, 2010

DESCRIPTION: The actor is a key creative component and selling point in
getting a feature film made. Today's market is largely
"name" driven. Making a deal with a recognizable actor is a
critical factor for attaining financing and eventually producing a film.
Additionally, because the actor is the only creative element that
appears on the screen, as well as in the advertising and promotion, the
actor can be very demanding during negotiations. Therefore, the actor
agreement is often the most challenging deal to negotiate. Understanding
how to navigate the negotiation process and nuances of the actor
agreement is essential for producers, directors, writers, actors and
anyone interested in the film business. The workshop will outline and
discuss the basic terms of the actor agreement along with the important
issues to consider when negotiating the deal.
