Be Independent. Act Professional.
Working with a low budget doesn’t mean you can’t cast SAG-AFTRA talent.

Yes, indie filmmaking is hard and the unknown is scary, but SAGindie is here to hold your proverbial hand to make the process a little easier. So poke around our website, attend our events, or reach out if you need some help. Just remember us when you’re rich and famous.
