You may remember the laughter of your parents or grandparents as they watched one of the classic television shows like, Chespirito or El Chavo del 8 in the years past. Now it’s time to bring that feeling of family fun back to living rooms everywhere.
The timing is perfect and
the opportunity is HUGE.
Mr. Segoviano is 75 years old, he just conquered COVID-19, and now he's Producing his legacy project that he's dreamed of creating for many years.
It will be interesting to see who will be the first to join forces with him?
This project is a unicorn as it pertains to marketing opportunities with new media!
We see an unprecedented move by the world famous director, to step away from local tv studio financing as he seeks independent investors.
Who will get the title of Executive Producer
on his newest TV series?
Any production company or sponsor knows that this project will be a huge success with the type of reputation and star power that comes with the name and brand of Enrique Segoviano.
This could be the perfect opportunity for any Jr. level executives to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry. Who will be able to say that they were the one who got the “Enrique Segoviano” legacy project produced?
Will it be a seasoned talent manager or agent who gets this deal done?
Only time will tell. . .
Can you imagine the NFT (non-fungible token) sales and content that can be created with this intellectual property?
WOW!
This is a very exciting time!
Magnitude Visuals based in California, and USMC veteran Mr. Oscar Garcia leads the charge with financing and production. Any interested parties should connect with them immediately.
SAG-AFTRA news about COVID-19 safety

FROM the article:
Safe Way Forward: The Basics
As the industry makes slow progress to reopening, SAG-AFTRA members will be entering into a very different filming environment due to COVID-19.
Our goal is to keep cast and crew healthy by setting up protocols that create the environment for the lowest risk possible to safety and health. The world we live in changes daily, as new medical and scientific information about the virus emerges—and, so, we must move forward but in a way that is careful and wise.
We must also recognize that we are in a fluid situation and so protocols are currently evolving as we learn each day the best way forward. We will continuously update our position as necessary for the benefit and protection of our members.
Here, we provide a current comprehensive list of key issues and answers as a guide for each member who is considering a production job. The details below are largely shaped by “The Safe Way Forward”, a comprehensive roadmap jointly drafted and agreed-to by SAG-AFTRA, DGA, IATSE and the Teamsters. The document is built on the broad medical, scientific and policy standards set forth by political officials and key government experts (e.g., the CDC), coupled with input from highly-trained experts recruited to structure a safe workplace within our industry’s unique environment.
We are also laying out protocols for performers working outside a studio set, especially in voiceover jobs. In addition, we are negotiating other key specific issues with industry.
These issues and answers will be frequently updated as circumstances develop and to reflect evolving rules, protocols, and practices.
General Principles
There is no such thing as “no risk” in the absence of an effective vaccine which reaches a large percentage of the population, and eventually creates broad immunity and “starves” the virus for lack of vulnerable people to infect.
But, we feel we can create a “low risk” environment based on three important principles:
Testing, Testing, Testing;
Restructuring sets with a “Zone system” to achieve the maximum physical distancing and safe working environments;
Broad use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Testing is the key to a safe environment. The modeling data is clear: regular and frequent testing of cast and crew effectively and substantially reduces the risk of infections and transmission. Testing gives strong confidence that if someone is infected, s/he can be isolated and quarantined and any further transmission can be avoided.
A Zone system. By creating “bubbles,” or circles of interaction, fewer people will be in close proximity to each other. This will mirror the best medical advice we are used to hearing in our daily lives: we create a safer environment by limiting the size of crowds in confined spaces.
PPE at all times. Within the production environment, the use of PPE (especially masks and face shields) will be constant, widespread and broadly available, fortifying a relentless program of santization of every nook and cranny.
Safety for Sarah has come to represent, not only the tragedy of that day, but all those in the film industry... to create safer film sets. Many in the industry relate to what happened to Sarah, thus the adage: "We Are Sarah Jones."
When times get tough we start to find out who our true leaders are.
This has been true in Hollywood during COVID-19.
I would like to spotlight Mr. John Duffy, Hollywood Producer who always has a winning attitude and leads by example.
Have you heard about
the weekly Town Hall
meetings called
Restarting the Film Industry?
This meeting is uniquely designed.
It is a consolidated group of entertainment business professionals, film crews, health care leadership, and government representatives all coming together to share information about the best practices of getting back to work in Hollywood, CA.
As an independent filmmaker, I am proud to see this type of collaboration with union filmmakers for a common cause.
Mr. Duffy has leveraged his resources to help our entire union and non-union film community make sense of the rules and regulations that will govern the film industry.
This digital Town Hall is a perfect place where everyone has a chance to voice their opinions and ask questions. I really enjoy that the awkwardness of a typical Hollywood mixer is taken away on this platform...
That’s easy, when the common bond why people are on this call is John Duffy. He’s a natural motivator, and builder.
Even though there were about 50-75 other people on the call, I still felt like I was on a familiar film set with my friends.
Leadership totally sets a friendly and approachable vibe, and we all learn a lot too.
Also, Great job to Mr. Tony Boldi for keeping the program flowing so smoothly and keeping things fun.
We denounce racism and promote all equality within Entertainment Business.
Our track record proves this.

Laos Film Commissioner is open to supporting the international film
community. During these times, we must stay Flexible, and we are prepared to have
Negotiable incentives based on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for these economic and cultural funds, foreign
producers do NOT need to co-produce with a Laotian producer. Complimentary Film Fixer: We offer the best guides in the country, FREE of any additional charges
for any productions over $1,000,000 spent in country. Complimentary Advisory Services for EP: Executive Producers will have a direct liaison to the Laos Film
Commission for any productions over $250,000.
On Set Registered Nurse: Since the COVID-19 outbreak, all productions are required to hire a full
time registered nurse to check temperatures, ask for symptoms, monitor
social distancing during meals, and general health of all cast and crew. We
will assist you with finding this qualified person. Product Placement: We streamline Clearance and approvals needed for any international film
productions, to use local prints, products, and items produced in Laos in
their films. Hotels / Housing: All taxes and government fees are waived when cast and crews stay at
approved facilities. Costumes: Orders for 100 or more authentic Laotian costumes for use in a local
production, may be negotiated and sourced through the Film Commission.
There is a 50% rebate for orders of 150 authentic costumes or more. Security: For productions of $250,000 or more, film set security may be provided by
local police and military forces. Terms are negotiable. Equipment:
Any fees at the border for importing film production equipment from
surrounding countries will be waived, for equipment and crews who stay
in Laos longer than 14 days. Laos wants to make travel and
communication seamless for film crews to travel across the borders, by
building relationships with the surrounding countries. Script / Screenplay: If you have a project that accurately depicts the Vietnam War, Ho Chi
Minh Trail, and the Laotian people in Laos, it will get consideration for
100% waiver of ALL location fees during production.
NO cost for these locations, if the Laos Film Commission gives your
production prior green light approval. Hollywood / California: Any production that diverts their backlogged productions to Laos will
receive priority over all local productions as it pertains to: locations, crew,
and equipment. The Laotian people understand that this is in support of
the bigger picture to build the entertainment industry. We are here to help
the Entertainment industry move forward during COVID-19. Editing: If any Total Run Time (TRT) is over 1 hour, for one project, and that entire
project was edited in Laos, it qualifies for a 20% discount of fees.
Discount is negotiated before starting the editing project. Laos Film
Commission may assist in finding talent and negotiating local deals for
international productions. Equipment exchange program: As productions bring in equipment from outside of Laos, they may use the
depreciated value of accepted items as an exchange for: services provided,
locations, vat fees, taxes, housing accommodations, and transportation
fees.
The items, values, and terms of the Barter agreement will be clearly
stated, and agreed upon, in any production contracts, prior to filming.
This program is set up to help add much needed equipment to the Laos
film industry inventory. As an emerging forward-thinking country, Laos is
looking for innovative ways to build and sustain the Entertainment
industry. Independent Producers: All video, film, or digital content productions do require a special film
permit in Laos.
This fee is waived for all productions under $50,000. Independent
filmmakers must still submit their project and get permission granted to
produce content in Laos. Extra talent for your film: If a production hires over 100 local extras for any film scene, The Laotian
government can provide, up to, an additional 100 actors for that same
scene. Production is responsible for the cost of the meals.
Production pays for 100 Background actors, and Laos government will
provide 100 background actors at no day rate cost to the production. How do we get FREE talent? Actors in Laos seek much needed training. This opportunity is offered
voluntarily to the local community, and the background actors are selected
from their voluntary submissions. These are people who seek more
training on film sets. Production pays for all normal meals and health
requirements. ONLY day rate is not paid by production. Cast & Crew Local hiring requirement: NO local hiring requirement. Laos Film Commission understands the
value in building the entertainment industry. Until the local labor force can
sustain international needs, there will not be a hiring requirement for
producers to take advantage of incentives offered by the Laos Film
Commission.
Hotels, restaurants, merchants, and many more will benefit from the film
productions in Laos. Bulk Shipping: Cast & Crew may send home up to 10 pounds each of locally purchased
items. Laos Film Commission will pay for the shipping back home! We
want some of our culture to reach your home town. How can I qualify for an incentive? Producers MUST ask to coordinate all of the details for each project. It is
not the responsibility of the Laos Film Commission to figure out which
incentive works for your project. All incentives are subject to change at any time before an agreement is
made. All signed agreements will be honored. Prior to pre-production, submit request and an estimate of total qualified
expenditures to the Laos Film Commission. Program is administered on a
first-come, first-served basis. Contact
