SAG-AFTRA firms up support for student devs and game jam participants
SAG-AFTRA – the union that represents 160,000 American media professionals, including voiceover artists – has launched two new agreements: the Student Interactive Waiver Agreement and the Game Jam Waiver Agreement.
The union said the new agreements “provide video game developers at every stage of their careers the opportunity to work with union performers, even as the video game strike continues”.
The Student Interactive Waiver Agreement has been designed for students currently taking video game courses at accredited educational institutions and “provides an opportunity for students to work with SAG-AFTRA performers to satisfy course requirements during game development” providing the project is recorded entirely in the US and is owned by the student.
