Headshots Get You A Job In The Performing Arts.
Headshots, the word sounds like something a mafia boss might order done to a rival. It could not be further from the truth. While it does involve heads, it has nothing to do with guns, and everything to do with getting a job. To be precise, a job in the performing arts.

Screen Actors Guild Continues to Negotiate: Members Continue to Work Past Contract Expiration
Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) July 1, 2008 -- The Screen Actors Guild (http://www.sag.org/home) national negotiating committee has bargained with the AMPTP for the last 42 days and remains committed to negotiating a fair deal for actors as soon as possible.
The AMPTP today delivered a last-minute, 43-page offer that upon initial examination appears to be generally consistent with the AFTRA deal, particularly in its provisions relating to new media. The union is reviewing the complex package and will prepare a response to management once that analysis is complete.
The parties are scheduled to meet Wednesday, July 2, at 2:00 p.m.
"This offer does not appear to address some key issues important to actors. For example, the impact of foregoing residuals for all made-for-new-media productions is incalculable and would mean the beginning of the end of residuals," said Screen Actors Guild (http://www.sag.org/home) National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Doug Allen.
The Screen Actors Guild Codified Basic and Television Agreements covering television programs and motion pictures expire tonight at midnight. Work will continue and all SAG members should report to work and to audition for new work past the expiration date until further notice from the Guild.
Other Screen Actors Guild agreements, including the Commercials Contract, Basic Cable Live Action Agreement, Basic Cable Animation Agreement, Television Animation Agreement, Interactive Media Agreement, Internet Agreement, and Industrial Educational Contract are unaffected by the status of these negotiations, and members should continue to audition and work under them as usual.
