I like to hire less people for my shoots, but in America the union - TopicsExpress



          

I like to hire less people for my shoots, but in America the union forces you to work with too many people. There are rules that are absurd. For instance, I once wanted to shoot with local people who are not actors, but the SAG doesn’t allow you to hire actors that are not in the union unless you also hire fifty people a day that are in the union. So we were shooting a dance scene and I had to hire not only dancers but also members of the SAG and the people from the union who were just extras acted literally retarded. They spent their day doing nothing, just looking at themselves in the mirror. All the older people had had plastic surgery. They just did a terrible job. There are so many rules with the union it is pathetic. I think that is very damaging for the American film industry.- michel gondry. I CONNECT.
