Peacock Indie feature — 15 days at $250/day, mixed feelings overall

Long shoot for a Peacock Indie original — 15 days, $250/day non-union. The good: they paid on time every two weeks during the shoot, meals were fine, and the DP was a real pro who made everything look way more expensive than the budget. The bad: the schedule kept changing with less than 24 hours notice, we had two 14-hour days back to back, and the script got rewritten three times during production. I think the AD was in over their head. Not terrible, not great. Wouldn't turn it down if the rate was better next time.

Blumhouse micro-budget horror — $125/day but the exposure was actually real

Blumhouse's micro-budget arm (Tilt) pays almost nothing — $125/day for a 3-day shoot. Before you stop reading: the movie got a limited theatrical release and went to Peacock. My scene is in the trailer. For once, 'exposure' was a real thing. The set was run like a real union movie — proper turnaround, hot meals, safety briefings before any stunt work. Would I do it for the money alone? Absolutely not. But the IMDb credit and the footage for my reel were worth it if you can afford to take the hit.

Gunpowder & Sky digital series — self-tape to booking in 5 days flat

Applied through Actors Access for a Gunpowder & Sky digital series. Self-taped Monday, Zoom callback Tuesday, offer Wednesday. The turnaround was wild. $400/day for 3 days of shooting for their YouTube channel. Production was small but professional — crew of maybe 15 people. Meals on time, 9-hour days, no drama on set. They mentioned they're building a roster of recurring actors for future projects. Definitely keeping an eye on their next castings.

Tubi Original movie — 12 days, $350/day, surprisingly professional

Cast in a Tubi Original through a Backstage posting. $350/day for 12 shooting days as supporting cast. The production was way more organized than I expected for a streaming platform this size — real production office, actual call sheets the night before, stunt coordinator for the action scenes. Pay wasn't amazing but they paid on time within 2 weeks of wrap. Meals were catered and decent. The director was no-nonsense but respectful. Would absolutely do another Tubi project.
