You’re invited to a special info session on Wednesday, Nov. 2 (both in-person and Zoom) to discuss film/television streaming and your future.
Whether you play one recording session, or 50+ a year, come learn how the entertainment industry’s rapid shift to streaming is negatively impacting AFM musicians’ livelihoods, and what we can do to turn this around.
Did you know?
- Musicians make as much as 75% less on content premiering on streaming platforms as opposed to content premiering in a movie theater or on network television.
- From 2019 to 2022 Streaming (New Media) has gone from making up 13.9% of our Film, TV and New Media wages to 58.9%.
- Dancing With the Stars is now a streaming show, made for Disney+, as well as many major motion pictures such as Hamilton, Home Sweet Home Alone, Better Nate Than Ever, and Disenchanted.
- The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers Association (AMPTP) has refused to give us residuals for more than a decade despite affording them to singers, writers, actors and directors.
Join us Wednesday, November 2nd, to get answers to your film/TV streaming questions and learn how we can unite to finally win streaming residuals.
Topics will include:
- Why the trend toward original streaming content is not sustainable for musicians without residuals
- Why we receive residuals from some recording sessions and not others
- How streaming works in our Film/TV and Live TV contracts
- Why our current Film/TV contract has been extended to Nov. 2023
- How we build power to win streaming residuals
