[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the movie is a western, presumably there will be lots of guns involved, so I would think the armorer should be an experienced one.

I've seen several references to Rust Movie Productions, LLC.  Is it common for each movie production to become a company?  [/quote]

Putting this out there as it caught my attention. I don't know enough about this topic to opine, but I'd welcome any knowledgeable comments.

"Inexperience among producers: The low barrier to entry in producing for streamers who pay production costs upfront has allowed smaller companies and startups to attempt large-scale productions without adequate staff, skills or equipment. Among the seven production entities listed as backing “Rust” was Streamline Global, a company founded in 2017 to use films produced with production tax incentives as vehicles to create tax breaks for wealthy investors. Streamline Global co-founders Emily Hunter Salveson and Ryan Donnell Smith serve as executive producer and producer, respectively, on “Rust.” Industry sources cite inherent problems that can occur when goals and incentives among producers are not aligned.

“We have developed new financial models to attract capital that would otherwise be unavailable to the film industry,” Salveson told Variety in 2017. “Films are the byproduct of the comprehensive tax planning strategies we employ for our clients.”"

This is all good and wonderful but even when I did shows for Disney Plus and Amazon Prime, the actual film was set up under XYZ Productions.  And to further muddy the waters, we're always considered employed by the payroll company (Cast and Crew or Entertainment Partners), not the producing company of the show. [/quote]

Np- and cast and crew has been a mess! I went almost a full month without pay this summer. Sounds like this crew was having that same issue, and they weren’t getting housed on top of it.[/quote]
