SAG Short Project Agreements cover films that have total budgets less than $50,000 and a maximum running time of 40 minutes. (Note: This does not apply to episodic or animated projects.) Unlike other SAG day rates, actor salaries under the SAG Short Project Agreement are completely negotiable.
The Low Budget Agreement applies to those films shooting entirely within the United States with a total budget of less than $2,000,000.
While the specific project in question doesn't fall under the strike order, it's important to remember that non-union work is a violation of Global Rule One, which requires that members work under a union contract.
The simple fact is that SAG strictly prohibits its members from taking nonunion jobs. While the short-term payoff may seem enticing, the long-term consequences are severe: We're talking hefty fines, suspensions, and potential expulsion from the union.
Rule 1. Everyone knows it. It's printed right on the back of your SAG-AFTRA card and is one of the most fundamental principles of unionism. In plain terms, a union member will not work or agree to work as a performer for a non-union producer.
Most actor contracts are between two and three pages long. The typical term for an actor contract is a certain a number of months after the film or play premieres, although some go on indefinitely. Term lengths can vary greatly! The typical term for an agent or manager contract for actors is about 12 to 18 months.
Under the Student Film and Ultra Low Budget Agreements, only the professional performers in the cast are covered (that includes SAG-AFTRA members, but also professional actors who have not yet joined the union).
Can nonunion actors work SAG jobs? Yes—but if you do, you have to join SAG eventually. To be eligible, actors need to first work a union job. After a performer works either one day in a principal or speaking role, or three days in a background role, under a SAG contract, they become SAG-eligible and can join the union.

YES! It's challenging but definitely possible. There are tons of non-union actors out there with union-franchised agents, and it's the best way to go if you want to grow your career as quickly as possible.
