SAG-AFTRA Backlot
Recap
Chicago Women in Film’s Back Lot Series was held at the SAG-AFTRA space at One East Erie on April 26, 2012. SAG-AFTRA offered a tour of their studios and offices followed by a presentation from SAG-AFTRA Branch President Ilyssa Fradin, SAG-AFTRA Director of Freelance Jamie Marchi, SAG-AFTRA Organizer Andy Larson, SAG-AFTRA Freelance Representative Sean Hennessy and Producer Sandy Gordon. This informative panel explained the strength of the SAG-AFTRA merger and shared insight in processing paperwork for SAG-AFTRA talent, breaking down any preconceived complexity. The union offers several supportive resources and useful tools. They also covered topics in production and hiring SAG-AFTRA talent for TV and radio commercials; corporate, educational and non-broadcast programs; new media projects; interactive media games; infomercials; video and audio new releases; and commercial radio broadcast programming and public radio. More information is available at www.sagaftra.org.
