CREATIVE RIGHTS AGREEMENT SUMMARY
ACHIEVEMENT OF BASIC AGREEMENT CREATIVE RIGHTS FOR ALL PRIME TIME DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS, INCLUDING DIGITAL AND VIDEOTAPE PRODUCTIONS.
LATE SCRIPT DELIVERY
- For dramatic series that begin principal photography on or after September 30, 2002, the Employer will provide information to enable the Guild to monitor timeliness of script delivery.
- The Employers will meet with DGA representatives on a Company-by-Company basis to consider solutions to the problem of late script deliveries. These meetings may involve showrunners, network and production executives, individual writers, and/or the Writers Guild of America.
- The Employers have also agreed to meet with the DGA's TV Creative Rights Committee to review progress on this issue.
- The AMPTP and DGA agreed to an arbitration to determine the appropriate relief for late script delivery. If the arbitrator rules in favor of the DGA, a sliding scale has been set up under which after a certain number of late script deliveries on a series, the Employer will make payments to the Motion Picture and Television Fund.
IMAGES FROM THE SET
- The Creative Rights Committee discussed concerns regarding the transmission of images (other than promotional material and dailies) from the set or location. The Guild will bring any instances of abuse to the Creative Rights Committee, which will address the situation promptly.
