My film is slated to be released on September 19. I was told by SAG that, with the strike, I would need an interim agreement for SAG members to promote the film. My company ticks all the boxes to be approved so I applied six weeks ago. And I wait… And I wait… And I wait.
As I get closer to the planned and paid for red-carpet premiere, which is a requirement of my Transactional Video-on-Demand agreement, I see myself, my private equity investors, my company and possibly my future ability to produce in the independent feature world plummeting toward becoming collateral damage.
I am left clueless as to why dozens upon dozens of interim agreements have been granted, many of which I have been told were processed in a much shorter amount of time, with some applied for long after ours was submitted. As I stated, I am not a member of SAG or an affiliate of the organizations they are striking against. I am an independent filmmaker.
