Anyone have insight into why they’d allow this while on strike?
Indie films can offer different contracts than big studios.
Honestly this is the best way forward. The big studios will never cave into the demands of labor because they are ghouls and they have unlimited money to wait out the strike.
If smaller studios keep making movies because they respect the labor by offering fair terms, then that is the stuff winning is made of. The big studios, 100% of them, need to be broken up.
The link in the article to the full list doesn't work, so I'm posting the correct one here: https://www.sagaftra.org/files/sa_documents/Productions%20Approved%20and%20Signed%20to%20Interim%20Agreements%20-%20Members%20May%20Work%20on%20These.pdf
Can some movie people explain to me what this means? What is a SAG ?
SAG-AFTRA is the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

Actor union. They are unhappy with their wages. I think the average actor in Hollywood makes like $25 an hour.

It's also very inconsistent work since you are not always acting in a show or movie, and it can be very tough to book new roles.
Plus the new deal studios want really sucks: background actors to be scanned and paid for one day, and then their digital likenesses can be used forever. You’ll get paid once and never work again…god forbid your Q score is high; they’ll make your doppelgänger a star and leave you waiting tables.
