Waivers for films during Actors strike. I know there are exemptions for film projects during the strike. Are actors permitted to sign on to low budget (under 3 Million) independent films as long as the filming begins after the strike is settled? Must a formal waiver be applied for and granted by the Union?

SAG-AFTRA, as far as I can tell, failed to give us the full picture before calling this strike. If what is stated in the attached article is true, I'm unsure why our union called this strike.
