LOCAL HIRE | Do You Know What You're Signing Up For

LOCAL HIRE: Do You Know What You’re Signing Up For? “Local hire” sounds simple—but for an actor, those two words can have real financial consequences. In this episode of The Transatlantic Playbook, talent agent Francesca Francois breaks down what actors need to understand before agreeing to work as a local hire. What does local hire actually mean? Who is responsible for travel, accommodations and transportation? And when can landing the job end up costing you more than you expected? This episode is about understanding the business behind the booking—because being able to get yourself to a production city doesn’t necessarily mean accepting local-hire terms makes financial sense. Before you say yes, know what you’re agreeing to. The Transatlantic Playbook provides practical industry insight for actors, writers, directors and creators navigating the U.S., U.K. and international entertainment industries.
