If you have wondered how to become a SAG member, negotiate with SAG to produce a film, or why you should even wonder about SAG at all, put this night on your calendar to get the answers!
Marcia Fishman, SAG Executive Director of Detroit and Philadelphia Branches (covering Michigan, Pennsylvania, Delaware and south Jersey) wants to meet you and build SAG in West Michigan!
She will be speaking on the following topics:
· Positive reasons for a relationship between film community of West Michigan and Screen Actors Guild
· The implications of west Michigan actors becoming SAG members
· What SAG contracts are available to west Michigan producers, i.e. low budget, new media, short, student (most of which include little to deferred payment options)?
· Concerns of Hollywood and New York productions in an area with little or no SAG membership, and how concerns can be handled.
Followed by general Q & A.

SAG to honor James Earl Jones tonight
By John Serba | The Grand Rapids Press | January 25, 2009
It's hard to imagine Darth Vader stuttering.
That's what James Earl Jones, who was the voice of the iconic villain in the "Star Wars" franchise, had to overcome as a schoolboy in northwestern Michigan.
But don't expect the esteemed stage and screen star with the unmistakable, booming voice to stumble over his words when he accepts Lifetime Achievement honors tonight at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The 78-year-old Jones grew up between Cadillac and Manistee on a farm near Dublin, attended high school in Brethren and earned a degree in drama from the University of Michigan.
