Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
Two productors refuses to give credit for work done on video production. As one of two main parts, I spend ten days on location in Utah in front of the Camera, plus three days in front of camera in California for pre-film camera work. Now the productor e-mailed me to state that he has deleted all my camera time. And I get no pay. No written contract. Productors work at ABC TV and claim to be doing film free lance, but would use their ABC TV credentials, when ever a problem came up.

Assuming the agreement for work was made in California, you have several options: 1) File a claim with the State Labor Commissioner; 2) Retain an attorney to sue for your pay (your attorney will receive reasonable attorney fees from the court); also 3) contact SAG and AFTRA to see if they can help. The emails you sent and received are writings and can be used as evidence of your time and pay rate. Contact me for more.
