David Ige has signed SB 714, clarifying that the Hawaii Publicity Rights Act applies retroactively to protect the publicity rights of deceased individuals prior to the date of HPRA enactment. Additionally, the governor signed SB 309 into law on June 23. It amends state law to include that the creation, disclosure or threat of disclosure of nonconsensual, sexually explicit material, such as deepfakes pornography, are among the offenses constituting a violation of privacy in the first degree. Big mahalos to all our Hawaii Local members and industry partners who submitted testimony to the Legislature and contacted the governor's office regarding these important protections for performers. ● Hawaii Local SAG-AFTRA Members Help Clean Up Portland I t's no secret that the past year has been hard on the streets of Portland, Oregon. With an eye toward production reopening in the Rose City — particularly given the recent extension of Oregon's film incentive program and a massive boost in funding — Portland SAG-AFTRA members joined Oregon Film, other local film and media professionals, and SOLVE Oregon to give their city a spring cleaning on April 29. SAG-AFTRA members donned safety vests, gloves and masks as they fanned out around Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the Providence Park stadium to pick up litter. Together with other SOLVE volunteers, local members helped collect more than 3,867 pounds of trash from Portland streets to get their city ready for its close-up with clean locations ready for production. ● Portland Nash Bridges Is Back S an Francisco has been abuzz with the return of Nash Bridges shooting throughout the City by the Bay. The original series from the late 1990s enjoyed a successful six-season run and employed many Bay Area performers, who still proudly share stories of its heyday. The two-hour movie for USA Network, which sources have intimated has hopes of igniting a second series run, hired a few hundred San Francisco-Northern California Local background, principal and stunt performers during its 19-day shoot this past spring. Star Don Johnson said in an interview with California Film Commissioner Colleen Bell that this is his favorite shooting location, and many are hoping to once again see the exciting police drama play out on the streets of San Francisco. ● San Francisco- NorCal San Francisco Mayor London Breed, center, meets Don Johnson, left, and Cheech Marin.
