Australia has an ethnically diverse population representing a broad range of looks, styles and accents. There is an enormous talent pool of actors, models and artists.
Australia's multinational ethnic mix ensures that producers can find the look they are after.
Talent fees, price structures and working conditions are attractive and negotiable. There is an existing offshore agreement for performers and extras working in television and cinema advertising. The standard contract is calculated on a daily shoot rate plus a usage fee for the intended market. Usage fees vary according to the product type, usage regions and length of the buyout. These rates are purchased up front on a yearly basis, so there is no need for complicated residuals.
Foreign artists visiting the country need to apply for an Entertainment Visa,
which can be facilitated and sponsored via Sugar Glider Films.
