The Canadian Film and Television Production Association (CFTPA) is in the midst of working out an agreement that bases wages for directors, location managers, art department personnel and others to production budgets to ease the way for producers to create low-budget programming for the new digital channels and the Internet. This Fall, the organization hopes similar clauses will appear in its deal with the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA).
