To all the Posters

So you need a PROFESSIONAL - (pick your category) Editor, Composer, Director, Sound Mixer, Sound Designer, whatever.
And you want to offer deferred pay, backend points, or a paid gig next month on your short film, web episode or pilot?

Well tell my bank, my credit company or the grocery store that I'll be getting that money (right??) some time soon.

If you can make a film, then pay the people who help you do it! If not then go F**K yourself!

Amen brother!!!

And just a reminder to all producers and crew - minimum wage in the state of California is $112/12. And after 12 hrs, it becomes $16/hr, meaning it's $128/13, $144/14, etc....

I know we all need to work and to pay our bills, but accepting anything less than minimum wage hurts us all. Stick together and hold your ground! Send a strong message to production that if they don't have the money to pay ALL of their crew at least a legal wage, then they don't have the money to make a movie!

Location: LA
Compensation: Min Wage or else!
