ok, asking from total ignorance here - I know 0 about the film industry and live 1000s of miles from LA, but sorta curious.
Isn't there a minimum scale for wages required for any film? Or is it only if the film somehow becomes a "union" job?

And that reciprocates so many jobs that everyone i know pays (or are making ends-meet to pay) the union (most are something like 5k for actors, 20k for photo, per year).
But, small indie movies, just shoot for a couple days and nobody has any pay. They usually gets people with little experience via email chain and facebook noise.
