- Not below the line. Isn't that the definition of "below the line?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 19, 09:45 3
  - right, talent is above the line, but if you see a production budget number, that includes the talent. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 09:52 1

  - no, above-the-line is the cost for the talent -- (link) - moles Jul 19, 09:49
- but what talent are doing more of is getting higher back-end points to make up for reducing their up-front salaries -- nm - moles Jul 19, 09:41 2
  - i think if i were a studio i'd be all about this. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 09:42 1
    - yup, split the risk (and the reward) -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:43
