@feld And all those actors on the shows like Westworld or Willow that got pulled? They now make zero. So if they got paid SAG minimum plus residuals, they will now make zero for the rest of the show. The show has pulled the content until their residual contract runs out, and then they'll sell it for nothing.
@feld They might rerun the entire show, but not every season in one year. They might just run highlights or favorites. If your episode doesn't air that year, you don't get paid.
@feld Friends didn't have reruns for 10 years. And the show made 1.5 billion dollars. The six stars made 816 million collectively. The one friends guest star made a total of 210k total for her participation - which isn't bad for someone that only gets 1-2 guest star gigs a year (not for lack of trying).
This is a great article explaining how SAG day rate and residuals work. For a show like 'Friends' that airs on network, day rate was $500/day and residuals for a person that appeared on one episode in a speaking part could be as much as 50k a year. Orange is the new black paid $900 a day (SAG minimum for streaming), and a person that did 7 days of work for a three episode ark. That person recieved a quarterly streaming royalty check of $27.30.
Getting feedback on a film project is so hard. A friend has been working on her film for over a year now, but it’s never been in a state ‘good enough’ to share. Now it’s done, and any changes are near-impossible. she asked me for feedback- and honestly - it’s not great, but she’s have to completely redo the project to fix it. So it really isn’t worth giving any critique about it. It’s fine. Not great. But it’s done, and maybe next time she’ll get feedback a bit earlier.
