PROJECT INFORMATION
ADVERTISER: Travel Portland
TYPE: Video
-
Stills only projects: all talent are welcome to submit, regardless of union status.
For video projects, the project will be listed as either SAG-AFTRA or Non-Union.
Non-union projects: Non-union and Fi-Core talent are eligible (SAG talent should not apply.) Casting does not verify talent’s union status with SAG.
SAG projects: All talent are eligible to submit, but if hired must be cleared to work by SAG. This means that before shooting, SAG members may need to resolve unpaid dues, and non-union talent may be required to join the union in order to work.
If you do not know what this means, you are most likely non-union and can apply to any project.
