For projects whose shooting schedule is longer than two weeks and ALL feature films, a two-week payroll security deposit is required. ACTRA Toronto will release 50% of the deposit for the last two weeks payroll.

The remaining 50% will be released upon proof of payment of last payroll and receipt of all paperwork. Shooting schedules less than two weeks require 50% of the budgeted payroll and will be refunded provided ALL paperwork is completed OR projects, with permission from the ACTRA Toronto steward in charge of the production, may arrange to prepay performers for scheduled days and post a security deposit in the accumulated sum of projected overtime fees, administration fees.

Back End Distribution Payments and Revenue Participation

The fees paid to performers during production include a "Declared Use of the Production" of Theatrical worldwide for one (1) year from the first theatrical use. All other media use (world theatrical, pay TV, basic cable, free TV and ancillary revenue) are accounted for by payment of a use fee of 3.6% of Distributors Gross Revenue (DGR).

DGR is defined in Article B509 of the IPA. For further clarity: The Distributors Gross Revenue (DGR) of 3.6% will be payable on all gross revenues derived from Theatrical distribution after the expiry of the Declared one year period of Theatrical Use.

Any Use of the product other than the Declared Theatrical Use will require payment of 3.6% of Distributors Gross Revenue. The use fee is paid directly to the ACTRA Performers' Rights Society who administers the collection and disbursement of all DGR payable in accordance with the unit calculations defined in the IPA.

Please refer to the ACTRA Performers' Rights Society's procedure sheet (or Article B509 of the IPA) for the full definition of Distributors' Gross Revenue.

All Internet use and royalties payments will be made as per the ACTRA Internet Production Agreement.
