Helen Kelly, CTU President, said today that the industrial issues concerning the film industry were resolved at a meeting with SPADA last week. “This established a path that guaranteed films commencing before 31st March next year would use the existing Pink Book and in that period a revised Pink Book would be agreed for subsequent films.”

Helen Kelly also holds a sequence of emails between MEAA, the Screen Actors Guild, and Warners showing that MEAA advised SAG on Sunday LA time of a recommendation from NZ Equity that they rescind any forms of advice to their members that they not work on the feature film production The Hobbit, and that Warners were preparing a press release to announce this on Monday LA time.
