What to know about SAG-AFTRA waivers.

The actors and writers strikes have resulted in most Hollywood film and television productions being shut down, from the Gladiator sequel to the live action Lilo & Stitch. But some independent films and television productions are being granted waivers by the union that will allow them to continue, with Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists actors, amid the strike.

Those terms were rejected by the studios and streaming services, but SAG-AFTRA realised that some independent producers and smaller film studios were willing to agree to the terms if it meant they could keep filming.

"It provides absolute empirical proof that the terms that we are seeking in the negotiation are reasonable," he told The Associated Press this week."There was a CEO of one of the companies who said that what we were asking for was unrealistic. And yet we have hundreds of independent producers who say we'll be happy to produce under those terms."

"I do understand that some members feel like it creates a confusing message or that it makes it not as clear of a line," Crabtree-Ireland conceded." we're all very clear on the fact that AMPTP companies are the companies we're on strike against, and we're not going to be engaging in production with them until they accept these very same terms or come to the table and make a fair deal with us.
