"SAG" Financial Core

Revised December 22, 2005

 

The management of Dream Masters Studios accidentally discovered the "SAG Financial Core" in June of 2001.  This page has been visited periodically by a few people.  December 21, 2005, the Denver Colorado office of the US Department of the Interior logged onto this page.  Approximately an hour later, someone from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles logged onto this page.
Needless to say, that's a bit disconcerting.  I don't know if this was a "favorable interest" on "non-favorable interest" website visit.
Certainly, I am not interested in putting out bad information.  The definition I have listed below was intended to explain that "financial core" dealt with a Supreme Court ruling versus being a specific policy of the Screen Actor's Guild.

    To say "SAG Financial Core" is somewhat a misnomer. Actually, "financial core" regards the 1983 United States Supreme Court decision (Communication Workers of America VS Beck) however the term "SAG Financial Core" has become the term used by those who discover it because the Screen Actor's Guild has been viewed as such a LIMITING union power in the motion picture industry.

Additionally, I went back to the SAG website and found their revised "warning" statement about becoming a SAG actor:

CONSIDER THIS ... "Despite the popular image that all actors are rich, most Screen Actors Guild members earn less than $7500 per year from Screen Actors Guild jobs. It is almost certain that in your acting career there will be times when you will need to earn your living from work other than acting. Be prepared. While we are not in a position to provide individual guidance to those who are getting into this business, we certainly invite you to explore our website to learn more about the history of the Guild and the business of acting. See our Beginning Actors section for more information." (Source)

One last point.  The page from the SAG website for their Special Online Agreement that existed at one point is no longer in service.

It was never my intention to get into any dispute with a major production company (Are you kidding me! A major battery of entertainment lawyers against little ol' me!) or be in violation of any federal laws (an even bigger ARE YOU KIDDING ME!).  Enough said.
