Here are several well-known locations in which the the actors can meet up with us "the crew" before going of to specific parts off the square, whether its for briefs, food, acting and/or filming etc.

A key point is to make sure the actors are arranged to meet at a time where the crew have set up first so they are not standing waiting. If this happens, the actors will become fustrated or bored and not play their roll properley.

PRS for Music is one of the world’s most efficient combined rights collecting operations. Offering its members more money, more often, at less cost and its customers the most efficient means by which they can use music.
Where does the money come from?
Money is due to PRS for Music for any public performance of music, whether live or recorded, and from radio and television broadcasts and online.

MCPS generates money through licence fees from the recording of our members’ music on many different formats, including CDs and DVDs.

Where does the money go?
PRS for Music and MCPS pay money collected to their writer, composer and music publisher members. Both organisations are ‘not for profit’ and only deduct a small administration/commission fee to cover operating costs.

WHAT is equity and how can they help film makers?

What is Equity

Equity is the only Trade Union to represent artists from across the entire spectrum of arts and entertainment. Formed in 1930 by a group of West End of London performers, Equity quickly spread to encompass the whole range of professional entertainment so our membership includes actors, singers, dancers, choreographers, stage managers, theatre directors and designers, variety and circus artists, television and radio presenters, walk-on and supporting artists, stunt performers and directors and theatre fight directors.
Although we are a Trade Union, Equity is not politically affiliated and so does not make payments to any political party. This puts Equity in the strong position of being able to lobby with impunity governments of all political colours. We are however affiliated to the Trades Unions Congress and Equity delegates attend the annual TUC conference as a means of bringing performers' issues to a wider audience.
The main function of Equity is to negotiate minimum terms and conditions of employment throughout the entire world of entertainment and to endeavour to ensure these take account of social and economic changes. We look to the future as well, negotiating agreements to embrace the new and emerging technologies which affect performers so satellite, digital television, new media and so on are all covered, as are the more traditional areas. We also work at national level by lobbying government and other bodies on issues of paramount importance to the membership. In addition we operate at an international level through the Federation of International Artists which Equity helped to establish, the International Committee for Artistic Freedom and through agreements with sister unions overseas.

Equity is the UK Trade Union representing professional performers and other creative workers from across the spectrum of the entertainment, creative and cultural industries. In this site you will find a wide range of information including rates of pay, how to join Equity, office contacts, branch contacts and websites, careers advice and how you can get involved in helping theatres and companies at risk. Equity members can find more detailed information including job information, individual contacts, Equity agreements, legal help, welfare and tax advice, how to take an active role in Equity and work opportunities, and can add or update directory details.
