Hi Leoni Thanks for your reply but you still didn't say if the crew were being paid. If you want to gain experience that's fine - I've done a few no paid jobs for students and an unpaid charity photoshoot. But my contention is that if the crew are getting paid, then so should the actors - you won't have a production without them - just as you won't have a production without a crew. Cogs in wheels. And if you make contacts and get paid work in the future through doing this for nothing then well done - I've never known that to happen to anyone. Cheers
