Union & Non-Union Talent Management

Here is the breakdown. We manage union and guild talent needs for shoots filming in Indonesia, so projects carrying global cast and crew stay compliant while operating in the local market. Our team handles the planning that union talent demands, correct contracts and deal memos, working conditions, hours, rest and late hours tracking, and the reporting that guilds such as SAG-AFTRA, DGA, WGA and IATSE need. We align those obligations with how shoots are staffed and run on the ground in Jakarta and Bali.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We brief local production teams on the standards a union shoot must meet, prepare records in English and Bahasa Indonesia where local parties are involved, and keep forms accurate so a production satisfies both its guild commitments and Indonesian employment expectations. For visiting producers we explain clearly where global union rules and local practice meet, so there are no compliance surprises during the shoot or in delivery. Union talent management in Indonesia operates at the meeting point of global guilds and a fast-growing local industry.

Here is how the picture comes together. Indonesia has a large domestic film and television sector, one of Asia's biggest by cinema admissions. Its own labour and employment framework rather than a single dominant performers' union mirroring the North American guild model, so shoots mostly handle global guild rules alongside Indonesian practice. The country's two production hubs, Jakarta and Bali, carry the most skilled crews and the infrastructure to support shoots held to guild standards, and heavy streaming investment from Netflix and others has further professionalised the market.

Here is what we have to work with. Global shoots, from Bali-set features onward, have shown that guild-compliant work is fully achievable in Indonesia with the right planning. We bring a working knowing of both systems so union talent is managed correctly and the production stays compliant on each front.
