Abstract:

Systems and methods for collecting, storing and updating talent information data related to broadcast productions. A computer network will be provided in connection with software, the latter containing all required forms and paperwork necessary to have union talent, and in particular, performers who are members of either the Screen Actors Guild (“SAG”), the American Federation of Television and Radio Actors (“AFTRA”) or the American Federation of Musicians (AF of M). The software is operative to create a digital job jacket for all forms, contracts and talent details generated in relation to a specific broadcast production. Talent information data is continuously updated during the production process and can be selectively accessed over the computer network by those entities having a need to access such information, such as production companies, casting agencies, paymasters and performers. The systems and methods are operative to substantially eliminate inefficient and error prone practices utilized, as well as serve as a profitable business model.
