Productions wishing to contract their on-screen talent using the terms of the Pact Equity TV Agreement (TV Agreement) or Pact Equity Cinema Film Agreement (CFA) must register the production with either Pact or Equity.
This is because the Pact Equity standard forms of engagement and a production number can only be issued by Pact or Equity.
It is advisable that the producer registers with Pact rather than Equity, as we provide forms of engagement and advice in the interest of the producer.
What We
Offer
We provide the following services and resources to productions that register with us:
- Artist forms of engagement which incorporate the terms of the relevant Pact Equity agreement.
- Guidance to producers regarding the registration process, whether the production is in the UK or overseas.
- Optional escrow management services to registered productions to help satisfy the method of financial guarantee where a financial guarantor is not involved or acceptable to Equity.
- Support and advice on the terms of the agreement – for example, in ascertaining the relevant clearances required by the commissioner.
- Advice, as far as is possible, on the process for obtaining a Global Rule 1 waiver under the SAG Agreement.
- Assistance with disputes in interpreting the collective agreements between producers and agents, reaching out directly to Equity on behalf of the production as necessary.
