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.
