At 2:30 pm this afternoon, ACTRA and the CFTPA reached a tentative new Independent Production Agreement.
According to a press release from ACTRA, actors will receive a ten percent pay increase over the next three years; and–with the exception of web-exclusive content (e.g., “webisodes” of a series)–residuals from productions sold over the internet will be paid from first dollar. (For web-exclusive content, there’s a six-month-long “basic declared use period” before residuals can be paid off.) There is also a provision to revist the new media issue again after the Screen Actors Guild renegotiates with US unions, in case SAG members get a better deal.
The CFTPA, when this story originally went online, did not have a press release available.
