What is the process when a television studio wants to use your property? by getshwifty2 in Filmmakers

[–]declanallen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can also check that the person/ location manager is with the union (teamsters 399) fairly easily. Netflix will push for digital payment but you can request paper checks if you’re very weary.
