fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out
Shit this is great! You can get so much done if you don't sleep!
THE CONSEQUENCES
found this informative, about how studios are going to attempt to use influencers (particularly small ones) to try to cross pickets by paying a lot for movie promos, and that SAG-AFTRA likely will not let you in if you do this. my suspicion is they're hoping people won't understand the implications so wanted to spread the word!!
Very important note here, yes.
PROMOTION is part of an actor's job. And it's one of the things they're not allowed to do on strike.
SAG Actors are not allowed to do promotions at ComicCon this year. They can attend, as long as they don't:
- Participate in specific-show promotions (e.g. "five years later - actors of X series")
- Talk about their current work
- Talk about upcoming work
They are encouraged not to attend at all, in part because those are complex issues and it's easy to trip on them.
TikTok and YouTube INFLUENCERS are likely to be contacted by studios and told, "how would you like to make a LOT of money, talking about this show?"
...Do not take the poisoned bait.
That counts as crossing the picket line, and would result in:
- Being banned from SAG-AFTRA membership for life, and
- Possibly being blocked from other union jobs if they find out that you scabbed during a strike.
