There's not much you can do about most of these ridiculous offers, but one thing you can do is flag on Craigs List. Any ad placed under the "Television/Radio Jobs" heading must carry with it an offer of payment. Spec, deferred, "get experience" is not allowed. If there were enough people flagging, those ads would get closed down. Its not much, but its one thing you can do. I check my local Craigs List and always flag job ads that don't offer payment.

my favorite ads go something like this:
Well known and award winning studio now looking for Camera person, Lighting person, Sound man, Director and actors for a movie already going to several festivals including Tribeca! Join our emmy award winning team and get ready to make a great movie! Pay is deferred but you'll get copy and credit of course! GREAT for new actors and actresses as we will be putting this on imdb.com! Must own all of your own equipment! moviestudio10056@hotmail.com You find a website for them, it's on geocities, it looks like crap and all it talks about is the $50 fee to turn in a headshot for acting for their "movie" Yep. |

that law must not apply in all situations, otherwise, how could people ask others to work for free?

I'm shooting a low budget feature next month. We're paying very little but I'm upfront with everyone about it. What money we have is going for equipment, food, insurance and locations. I haven't placed an ad on Craiglist, I don't need to, but I don't think this kind of offer is insulting. For most it is just a tradeoff, low or no pay for experience. I do also get experienced people who work on corporate videos or industrial films willing to take a shot with me because they want to make the leap to narratives.

This is a perfect example of the problem. These people have no idea what they're getting involved with. They are asking a total stranger to provide about $50K-$60K of gear and they don't have a clue about what they are doing! The film alone will cost more than they could ever imagine! Maybe they could get Kodak or Fuji to give them $20K worth of film too. Just another group that thinks their project is IT!

Craigslist people are already trying to PAY us like PAs, now I guess they figure they might as well CALL us PAs!
