which you can produce independent films, with the focus being on how you can
use AFTRA contracts to your advantage, including the ability to defer pay to
actors, mix union and non-union cast members and/or negotiate rates on an
individual basis with AFTRA performers. We will also discuss the differences
between AFTRA and SAG contracts and what it means to you as an
independent/student film producer. <o:p></o:p></p>
