Most major film and television productions were forced to a standstill after a contract between Hollywood studios and a huge actors union expired, and performers went on strike last week. But screens won’t go totally dark.
Several independent production companies that aren’t part of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — the group of major studios that SAG-AFTRA is striking against — have applied for strike exemptions to continue their projects.The union has so far granted exemptions to 39 projects, including two films from the Oscar-winning indie studio A24: “Mother Mary” with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, and “Death of a Unicorn” starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega.
Other projects given waivers include the religious drama series “The Chosen” and “Bride Hard,” which stars Rebel Wilson. Low-budget projects, such as short projects and student films, don’t need waivers to continue and don’t have to participate in the strike, SAG-AFTRA’s website states.Performances on the Great White Way, such as “Hamilton” and “The Lion King,” won’t be affected by the strike, the union representing live theater
actors and stage managers confirmed. These performers work under a contract negotiated by the Actors’ Equity Association .AEA President Kate Shindle nevertheless expressed solidarity with SAG-AFTRA last week. “Performers deserve to share in the success of the work we do for these global, multibillion-dollar companies,” she said. “Nobody should step in front of a camera fearing that today’s work will be mined, manipulated or repurposed in the future without consent or compensation.
