Filming & Taping

Equity's Filming and Taping Department monitors the broadcasting, taping, and filming provisions under every Equity Agreement and Code. The Taping department also considers requests for tapings that are not provided for within an Agreement or Code and, if approved, negotiates the terms and conditions under which these tapings may occur. Equity maintains strict prohibitions concerning the broadcasting, filming or taping of theatrical productions, in order to protect the artistic and financial viability of the live medium.

With the advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web, Actors' performances have become even more vulnerable to exploitation. Equity continues to monitor the Internet and develop new strategies to protect Actors' images and artistry.
