I just can't hold it in anymore!

Um...is he a member of one of the guilds? SAG or AFTRA? Could lead to pain-in-the-butt paperwork. Not that that should put a halt to anything.

As long as the short stays under the radar, or never really makes any money, he'll probably not have any issues. SAG's not going to waste their time doing much of anything unless there's some money to recoup for their union members. For our short, nearly all of our talent was SAG and I had no time to wait the typical 6+ weeks to become signatory. I made sure that all of the talent knew they were getting into this without the project being SAG signatory, and they wanted to take the risk.

Ultimately, SAG can only penalize the members, not the producer(s) ... and again, they have bigger fish to fry that no-low budget short films.

Glad to hear the meeting went so well, Coffee!

Thanks guys and I have good news, he's in! I scored a grand slam on this one! He talked about how close this script was to his FIST organization's purpose that he couldn't turn down the opportunity to support it. WOW, I'm not sure if it's because he's a friend of a friend or if he really means that but who cares, I believe him and I'm stoaked. We have another meeting tomorrow night at his home. We're going to talk more and have him sign release forms. Now if only I can find a freaking boxing ring that's suitable for the film........
