Producing : Can a TV show be non union made? by Marta Jorgensen

Can a TV show be non union made?

I have a tv series that I am developing and want to know whether it could be possible to be a non union show in the beginning,, using people who are just starting out and aren’t in unions, like myself. To keep the budget at a doable level. I have an investor. Thanks

If you are shooting totally independently you can in theory go non-Union. If you are aligned with a studio it’s more difficult. Nicholas Levis just taught a great webinar on this subject - this might be useful: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Indie-Producers-Is-Shooting-Union-or-No...

Yes, a lot of them are in fact. If you want union actors, you will probably go at least sagaftra of course.
