Actors' Strike Fails to Halt Production of Indie Films and TV Shows
Despite the ongoing actors' strike led by SAG-AFTRA, some independent productions have been granted interim agreements, allowing them to continue filming. These productions, which are not affiliated with major studios or streamers, can apply for the agreement and proceed with their projects. The list of approved productions includes "The Chosen," "Mother Mary," and "Bride Hard." The interim agreement is reviewed by SAG-AFTRA to ensure the independence of the production. Meanwhile, faith series "The Chosen" has resumed shooting its fourth season after agreeing to the actors' union requests and interim agreement. Other work that does not require an agreement includes commercials, video games, audiobooks, podcasts, short films, and student films.
