Here is what fellow Florida members are saying about iActor:


On February 28, Florida members of all ages and ethnicities attended our iActor workshop at Nova University. For those that haven’t heard, iActor is an online casting database that is free and features exclusively Screen Actors Guild members – making it the only site casting directors will need to find professional actors like you.

During the next few days the annual budget for the State of Florida will be determined. The fate of Florida’s production incentives is in the hands of these legislators:

House
Representative Gary Aubuchon
Representative Susan Bucher
Representative Dean Cannon
Representative Greg Evers
Representative Keith Fitzgerald
Representative Richard “Rich” Glorioso
Representative Dorothy Hukill
Representative Pat Patterson

FLORIDA BRANCH PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

By Steve Gladstone

Doing business in the 21st century with 20th century technology puts you at a
disadvantage.

I was listening to a NASA report on the Messenger spacecraft, which had its first flyby of the planet Mercury in January of this year. The images and analysis it has sent back are abundant and settle old debates, while making some new discoveries possible. One possibility that was confirmed by Messenger is that there are volcanoes on Mercury's surface.

All SAG Members who are currently represented by or previously have been affiliated with
The Roxanne McMillan Talent Agency

Governor Charlie Crist has increased the allocation for our Film, TV and Digital Media Incentive to $40 million in his proposed budget for fiscal year 2008-2009, once again showing his fervent commitment to Florida’s film and entertainment industry.

During the 2005-2006 fiscal year, every theatrical production that participated in the incentive was filmed under a SAG contract. It is doing its job getting work here for our members.

Screen Actors Guild is pleased to announce the beginning of the Wages & Working Conditions (W&W) process in preparation for negotiation of the TV and Theatrical Contracts that expire on June 30, 2008. It is only through the involvement of members that proposals for this vital negotiation are developed.
