The Joint Policy Committee (JPC) has issued FAQs to provide additional information on the joint statement it released yesterday with SAG-AFTRA and the Producers' Guild of America (see this post) that recommended a pause in commercial production in Southern California.  

A few highlights:

  • Commercial productions are not prohibited by the statement. Instead, the statement includes a recommendation that there be a pause in production in SoCal, due, in part, to "the current lack of hospital capacity" in the region and the danger that this could pose to cast and crew who get injured or sick during a shoot.
  • If you have a production scheduled for January that previously was cleared to go forward by the JPC and the union, the union will not shut down the production although it "prefers that production be paused."
