Hi, potential mentors, I’m not sure if you noticed but budgets have changed and
some brands produce work non union. I’ve been producing non union for quite awhile. But an MJZ director I’m interested in is actually listed as freelance on the internet so that’s why I actually asked about union status. It wasn’t an offense to all DGA talent everywhere. Rather than asking them directly I asked you all. So i appreciate the answers and support and sorry some of you are a holes. No offense. Just doing research and producing correctly.

To be fair, biscuit has a “non union” division called gravy. The crew is union but the directors aren’t in the DGA. It can be confusing.

Wow! Cut this person some slack. I’m a senior producer who is getting into producing more motion content b/c print and broadcast roles are merging so to me it’s not a dumb question. Kudos to this person for asking and not assuming (b/c you know how well that goes)! I’m sure all the production leads are aware of this trend of having to learn multiple roles on the fly. Sheesh.

It’s an easy question to answer. Go to the AICP and check membership. If the director is indeed freelance, reach out to them first. Otherwise you will be overpaying MJZ. And to be honest, I agree with those who think you should know this.

So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
