Aftra Goes it Alone on Interactive Contract Negotiation.

From Michael Bell, take a read:

ALERT TO THE VOICE-OVER COMMUNITY
"PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERY VOICE-OVER ACTOR YOU KNOW"

It has come to the attention of the S.A.G. Interactive Committee, that AFTRA is about to negotiate the Interactive contract without the participation of S.A.G.

I just got back from my cottage weekend, which was anything but zen but restorative in a different way I suppose...The fairy show is this Australian/ Canadian animated co production called "Pearlie." Basically I'm 2 inches tall and pink and I can fly so I'm having too much fun to call it "work." Doesn't air till 2009 though...sad.

a) Great- I'm so glad it got to you!! and b) That you remembered me ;)
Things are good, I'm in Canada right now recording the fairy show and then off for a couple days for this thing called a "holiday"? I forget what that's about... Then back in LA on tues and gearing up for what I hope will be a busy fall. How was your summer? Have a great long weekend, hope to see you soon,
