To: All SAG Members who are currently represented, or previously been affiliated with Superior Talent Agency

The Screen Actors Guild is writing to inform you that Superior Talent Agency (“STA”) has ceased operations as a franchised agency and, accordingly, SAG has surrendered this agency’s franchise effective immediately.

The effect of the surrender is as follows:   

No member of the Screen Actors Guild may hereafter engage, use or deal through this agency.

All contracts in force between this agency and the members of Screen Actors Guild are ipso facto and without further notice terminated except that the agency may retain and collect any commissions earned under said contracts prior to the surrender of franchise.

Members shall not be under any obligation to pay commissions to the agent on any moneys earned by members after the termination of the agency contracts, even though such moneys are earned by members on employment contracts in existence at the date of termination of the agency contracts.

At this time, SAG is asking you to conduct an investigation of your own files regarding any dealings you may have had with STA.  If you discover any irregularities in payments made to you by this agency, or if you have any outstanding questions regarding your agency relationship, please do not hesitate to contact either Enny Chong, Assistant Manager of Agency Relations at (323) 549-6734, or Xochitl Cerda, Senior Manager of Agency Relations at (323) 549-6735. Any and all claims must be filed with the Guild no later than the close of business on Thursday, February 24, 2009. Thank you.
