Kentucky’s crew members have gone out of a low budget movie collection BladesChampionship Terins HowardIn protest after the production refused to secure a union contract with IATSE.
The deadline realizes that production was recently notified, because the crew felt that they were “treated with less than” by classifying it as independent contractors instead of employees. The majority of the crew expressed the desire of the union in the first place to secure pension and health pensions. They had until Wednesday to respond, but the sources say they were silent.
In response to the silence of the radio, the crew went to the strike on Wednesday and was being treated at the site. It is not clear whether any actor has via a sit -in line.
Production on BladesWritten and directed by Tony Giglio, started May 12.
The film, which is a budget of $ 3 million, has contracts with the Director Syndicate in America and SAG-Aftra. The sources also tell the deadline that production also receives more than a million dollars in government tax credits from the Kentucky Entertainment Initiative, raising “red flags” about the refusal to grant a union contract to the crew.
It is not completely uncommon to try to produce at least to photograph union contracts, especially on the next side of things (unions will often try to “heart” before ending). However, there is a lot of precedents for iATSE decades on films of a similar size and scope.
According to the sources, both members of the union and non -union crew supported the iATSE contract. Most of the first crew has not returned to work since Wednesday at the time of contact, although the sources indicate that they believe that production may try to continue to replace a crew.

The deadline has been contacted with the production company for comment, and this post will be updated if there is a response.
