SAG Registry Status

I recently achieved SAG-AGTRA pre-registry status as an Intimacy Coordinator.

What does this mean?

Pretty much nothing. I will continue to do the work I get in Florida, with the occasional travel offers. My rates aren’t changing. I’m not moving. I’m just on a website.

I have some real issues with the registry, as I think it is incredibly inequitable for folks who live in small markets, and has the potential to create more inequality in terms of access and income, if the program stays as it is. I’ve spoken to several folks at SAG, several times, about ways I would like to see this program change to become more equitable and sustainable. But for now, we are where we are.

And much as I wanted to be certified as a way to honor myself for the time and money spent on training, I want to be on this list as a way to honor myself for the work I put, not just on training, but on making connections, doing a good job, and creating a reputation I am proud of.

So, both things are true. I am very glad to be on the Intimacy Coordinator pre-registry for SAG-AFTRA, and I wish the program was better.
