| Your ideas are all actually directed to Equity's negotiating team, and some of them are certainly worth consideration. I don't think the ticket price idea is viable (certainly not if pegged to what's offered rather than sold, and especially in the world of dynamic pricing), and I can't imagine producers ever agreeing to it because that would mean more money diverted from recoupment for the (majority of) shows that are already on shaky ground. Re workshops, the in-place contract for legit ones is not bad for actors (not that it could not be enhanced) [not sure you are aware of these terms] but most of what you are talking about are informal things which frequently are at the stage when the writers are seeking a producer and none is involved. So what you are proposing is to burden the property with a liability that will, at least at the margins, discourage a producer from signing on. This segues to the writer-should-pay notion (not my notion, btw, so nothing to disagree with me about [per your other post]). Your analogy to non-profits switching to the production contract is not a good one: there is no "back-pay" involved in that. I think we agree that something needs to be done and I am sure it will be addressed in the next round. To that end, all suggestions are good. |
