SAG-AFTRA New England
SAG-AFTRA New England has a new contract designed specifically for local commercials. The Regional Commercials Code has reduced buyout rates and an simpler sign-on process to make it easier and less expensive to hire professional talent for your made-in, played-in spots. Learn more from SAG-AFTRA members and staff on how to put this to use in your productions.

Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart is the first feature documentary about Lorraine Hansberry, the artist/activist best known for writing the groundbreaking play A Raisin in the Sun.
