I want to use some union actors. Is there any way I can get them and they work for free? Basically none of us are getting paid anything. It's more for experience. Thanks, Wynda I have a no budget indie film and some webisodes I would liek to produce. I want to use some union actors. Is there any way I can get them and they work for free? Basically none of us are getting paid anything. It’s more for experience.

Thanks,

So now I'm seeking a Director. I am wondering where are all the Directors….I was told by a producer to find a director to fall in love with my script then contact him. So now I’m seeking a Director.

It was retweeted by many people. Most of all, I suggest you work even harder to get yourself known! I talk you up and tweet you out, and will be putting an article that explains about you, on my website for actors (Hollywood Actor Prep) but there are many filmmakers out there that aren't aware of you at all. I sent the link to two indie filmmakers I know, and to one guy who has a streaming show online, for small filmmakers. I sent to him especially, because while listening to his show the other night (he is a twitter friend and sent me info about his show so I was listening)--he had an actress on who is a SAG member, but she ADVISED all actors NOT TO JOIN SAG, ON THE AIR! Her point was that actors need a "reel" and can obtain work that can be made into a reel, by NOT being SAG. She also claimed to be a producer. She lives in LA. She obviously didn't know about SAG Indie. Nor did the fellow who had an ongoing show that disseminates and educates young blossoming independent filmmakers. I guess the first step would be to do a major SAG member information campaign. NO, they don't know. If they did, there would surely be utilization of the iActor site for self-promotion; and there would be a whole lot of content on the SAG Indie boards. There's a zillion actors who are making their own content, wearing producer hats. There's many many people making films in LA alone, students too. Substantial stuff. They would surely benefit by using some SAG actors. (Look at all the stuff Melissa Leo's involved in! She got nominated for an Academy Award! From a SAG Indie Film! Her career was resusitated because of that her performance in that film...) Who is doing your marketing? I am willing to talk and shoot some ideas around, to make SAG Indie have an increased awareness in the public sector, in the creative sector...
