Two challengers in the SAG-AFTRA election are urging the union to bring in an outside mediator to help resolve the actors strike, which has gone on for nearly two months.
Maya Gilbert-Dunbar, who is running against Fran Drescher for president of the union, argued that guild leadership has been too passive, and needs to show more urgency in restarting talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
“Chain your asses up to the damn door of the Sherman Oaks building to show how serious you are,” Gilbert-Dunbar said. “People’s can’t afford this. Strikes were never meant to last months and months. An effective strike should be short and sweet.”
Gilbert-Dunbar is running alongside Peter Antico, who is running for secretary-treasurer. In an interview, Antico echoed Gilbert-Dunbar’s criticism.
“I don’t believe Fran is taking the correct course,” Antico said. “You can’t make any decisions with emotion.

"Do you remember the moment of your birth?" "Has anyone ever answered yes to that question?" Apple Park Films has revealed the first teaser trailer for The Mire, an intriguing indie thriller about a cult. Made by Apple Park Films and Familiar Stranger Studios. On the eve of a mass suicide, the charismatic cult leader Joseph Layton must convince his two most loyal followers that he intends to go through with their plans. A battle of wits ensues across one evening. The film stars Antony Knight, Holly McLachlan, and Joseph Adelakun. It's hard to judge based on the little bit of footage in this trailer, but I'm curious to see more. In the meantime, if you're itching for more cult thrillers we'd recommend Midnight Mass if you haven't seen it.

Exclusive: SAG-AFTRA’s national election committee has dismissed a plethora of post-election protests that were filed by the losing candidates and their supporters in the union’s recent election in which Fran Drescher, running on the ruling party’s Unite for Strength (Ufs) slate, was elected president, and Joely Fisher, running on the opposition Membership First slate, was voted in as national secretary-treasurer, defeating Anthony Rapp.
Matthew Modine, who was defeated in his second bid for the presidency, was one of several MembershipFirst candidates who filed protests, though Fisher, his victorious running mate, did not challenge the outcome. Other complaints were filed by SAG-AFTRA members Peter Antico, Adam Nelson, Chuck Slavin, David Clennon, Samantha Hartson and Kevin Cannon.
“We have carefully reviewed and considered the protests, the parties’ submissions, the Election Policy, the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, and applicable federal election law,” the committee said in its decision. “We conclude that there...

The U.S. Department of Labor has denied all protests over the re-election of Gabrielle Carteris to the SAG-aftra presidency in August and will not a order a re-run of the contest.
Carteris won re-election last August over opponents Matthew Modine, Jane Austin, Queen Alljahye Searles and Abraham Justice and will remain the top elected officer of the performers union. Her re-appointment sparked protests over allegations that Carteris had improperly used SAG-aftra resources to promote her candidacy, as well as that two episodes of Fox’s spinoff “BH90210” — in which Carteris portrayed the president of a fictional actors union –had amounted to a “not-so-subtle national commercial” for the her campaign.
“We are grateful for the thorough review conducted by the Department of Labor regarding the unfounded challenges to our election process,” SAG-aftra announced Tuesday. “In its decision to deny the request for a rerun of the election, the Labor Department has...

Updated with SAG-aftra and Carteris statements: After a lengthy investigation, the U.S. Department of Labor has found no basis for setting aside the recent SAG-AFTRA presidential election, in which Gabrielle Carteris defeated Matthew Modine and three other candidates.
The Dol’s ruling thus ends one of the most contentions elections in the union’s history, though Adam Nelson, who was Modine’s campaign manager, has vowed through his attorney “to challenge the Department’s decision to the fullest extent possible under the law.”
In a statement today, SAG-aftra said:
“We are grateful for the thorough review conducted by the Department of Labor regarding the unfounded challenges to our election process. In its decision to deny the request for a rerun of the election, the Labor Department has affirmed the integrity of our elections process and confirmed that the challenges were meritless.

Unite for Strength, the SAG-aftra slate led by guild president Gabrielle Carteris, released a statement on Thursday condemning the federal complaints filed by supporters of Matthew Modine, who was defeated by Carteris in last month’s election.
Carteris handily won the guild election with 13,537 votes compared to Modine’s 10,682 votes. But the federal complaints, if found to be valid by Labor Dept. investigators, could force SAG-AFTRA to throw out the results and hold a new election.
The statement specifically singled out the latest complaint filed to the U.S. Department of Labor by Modine’s campaign manager, Adam Nelson, calling it “yet more poor judgment and destructive behavior,” on behalf of Modine’s Membership First slate.

Exclusive, Updated with Unite for Strength response: Adam Nelson has filed a 13-count complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor protesting SAG-AFTRA’s recent election. Nelson was the campaign manager for Matthew Modine, who lost the presidential race to incumbent Gabrielle Carteris.
Nelson’s complaints had previously been dismissed by the union’s national election committee, and now that he’s exhausted all internal union remedies, he’s is taking his protest to the Dol. Thirteen other union members also had their protests dismissed by the union’s national election committee, and many of them are filing complaints with the Dol as well.
A spokesman for the Unite for Strength ruling party Wednesday called the protesters “sore losers,” and their complaints “baseless.” See the full statement below.

Adam Nelson, campaign manager for Matthew Modine in his failed bid for SAG-AFTRA President, filed a federal complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor alleging multiple labor code violations by guild president Gabrielle Carteris.
The complaint accuses Carteris and her campaign of more than a dozen violations of Title IV of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, which outlines labor laws concerning union elections. Carteris won last month’s guild election by a significant margin, earning 44% of the vote with 13,537 votes. Modine received 10,682 votes, with 5,048 for Jane Austin; 1,096 for Queen Alljahye Searles and 367 for Abraham Justice.
Nelson’s complaints were initially sent to SAG-aftra’s national election committee, along with those from 13 other union members; but all protests were dismissed. Now, making good on threats of Labor Department appeals made during the election, several supporters of Modine and the Membership First slate are turning to Labor Sec.

Several protests have been filed with the federal government over the re-election of Gabrielle Carteris to the SAG-AFTRA presidency in August.
Carteris won the contest handily to remain as top elected officer of the performers union with 13,537 votes, or 44% of ballots cast, compared to 10,682 for Matthew Modine; 5,048 for Jane Austin; 1,096 for Queen Alljahye Searles and 367 for Abraham Justice. SAG-aftra’s national election committee denied all 14 protests on Oct. 8.
Los Angeles board member Brian Hamilton confirmed Thursday to Variety that he had met for several hours with investigator Troy Krouse of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Labor Management Standards in the agency’s Los Angeles. “He said my protest was very interesting,” Hamilton added.

Exclusive: Investigators at the U.S. Department of Labor are looking into a range of allegations of wrongdoing during and after the recent SAG-AFTRA elections. Brian Hamilton, a member of the union’s Los Angeles local’s board of directors, spent 2½ hours with Dol investigator Troy Krouse earlier this week detailing Hamilton’s charges.
“He’s a good listener and he’s a smart person,” Hamilton told Deadline about the Wednesday meeting. “He asked good questions and played a good devil’s advocate. It was like a deposition, of sorts.”
Hamilton, a founder of the Membership First opposition party, is one of 14 SAG-aftra members who filed charges with the union – all of which were dismissed by its national election committee. Having exhausted their internal remedies, he and several others are now taking their complaints to the Dol.

SAG-AFTRA’s national board is weighing action on a convention resolution that condemned “recent threats of violence and use of violent imagery” during the union’s latest elections.
Approved over the weekend, the resolution urged the board to “take whatever action it deems appropriate to address what has occurred and ensure that similar violent threats do not reoccur; and consider adoption of a rule designed to deter and prevent such conduct.”
The board has been meeting today and will meet again on Tuesday.
The resolution, which was co-sponsored by SAG-aftra president Gabrielle Carteris, stems from an alleged threat against Carteris during the campaign in which a member tweeted: “Let’s get rid of her once and for all!” The tweet included a clip from Scarface, in which Al Pacino’s Tony Montana blasts a roomful of armed men after yelling, “Say hello to my little friend!”

With the exhaustion of their internal union remedies, the protestors now are taking their complaints to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Many of the protests of the bitterly contested election contained overlapping allegations, including the claim that Carteris received an improper employer contribution through her work as an executive producer and cast member on Fox’s BH90210, in which she played a version of herself as president of the fictional Actors Guild of America. The show, a reboot of Beverly Hills, 90210, premiered during the union’s election.

SAG-AFTRA national executive director David White has condemned a social media post that he described as a “threat” against Gabrielle Carteris, the union’s recently re-elected president.
“It has come to our attention that elected leaders have been threatened,” he said in an email to the guild’s board of directors. “The threats range from one leader who was approached, verbally assaulted and then followed by a fellow member, to the most recent example of certain members asserting via social media posts that we should ‘get rid of’ our president ‘once and for all’ accompanied by a violent video Gif depicting someone shooting up a room full of people.”
The tweet in question was posted on Saturday by actress Daria Rumi, which then was retweeted Sunday by Adam Nelson, the spokesman for defeated Membership First presidential candidate Matthew Modine. Nelson, who is a member of the union, has apologized,...

SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director David White has condemned a threat against President Gabrielle Carteris.
White issued the condemnation Sunday night in response to a now-deleted Tweet by actress Daria Rumi that said, “Let’s get rid of her once and for all!” in reference to Carteris, accompanied by an image of a man pointing a firearm at the viewer, then firing.
“We are aware of the threat in question and we take this kind of conduct seriously,” White said. “We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior. This kind of activity can trigger tremendous fear and apprehension in our unique environment as many of our members have direct experience with being stalked and threatened during their careers. In an era of heightened scrutiny over threats in the workplace and public settings, we take each and every threat seriously and will respond aggressively to protect our members and employees.

Nearly two weeks after Gabrielle Carteris beat Matthew Modine to be re-elected as president of SAG-aftra, the behind-the-scenes drama at the actors union continues.
On Sunday, Modine’s campaign spokesman Adam Nelson apologized for retweeting an apparent death threat against Carteris, both on his Twitter account and that of Modine’s Membership First party.
“We sincerely apologize for a retweet which was performed in error and is expressly not a shared opinion. The retweet has since been undone,” Nelson wrote. “#MembershipFirst affirmatively advocates only nonviolent protest of any election violations by Ms. Carteris.”
The original tweet, from actress and Modine supporter Daria Rumi, included the message “Let’s get rid of her once and for all! #Gabrielle Carteris” accompanied by a Gif from “Scarface” of Al Pacino wielding a high-powered rifle blowing away a squad of men behind a door.

Matthew Modine has been accused by SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris of violating federal laws in his campaign to unseat Carteris.
The production of three campaign videos for Modine by the for-profit New York Film Academy — on whose board Modine sits — has been blasted by Carteris for alleged violations of federal labor law prohibiting union candidates from accepting contributions from any employer.
SAG-aftra’s election rules, sent out before every election, say, “The prohibition on employer contributions extends to every employer, regardless of the nature of the business or whether any union represents its employees.”
The videos were produced at no cost to Modine, who narrated and highlighted the contributions of stunt performers, background performers, singers and dancers. They’ve since been removed from Modine and the Nyfa’s website.
“These aren’t just flagrant violations of our union election rules, but of federal labor law as well,” Carteris said.

Carl Hansen’s “Check Mate” won the award for best film at the fifth annual Easterseals Disability Film Challenge awards Thursday night.
Actor-comic Nic Novicki, founder-director of the Film Challenge, said the goal is to “show stories that haven’t been seen” and to remind the disabled community that they may feel invisible to Hollywood but things are changing. “The people are ready to see us,” he said, drawing cheers and applause from the enthusiastic audience.
There were four honorees for the short films, including best filmmaker, Day Daniells, with “Hit On,” a seriocomic romance she co-wrote with the film’s star, Adam Nelson; awareness campaign award, David Tenenbaum, “Footloose”; and best actor, J.B. Abajian, “Visibility.”
Clips from each of the nominated works were shown, and the four winners were screened in their entirety.
Entrants were given 55 hours to complete their film, of three-to-five minutes in length, depicting disabilities in its many forms.
