These smaller companies and productions benefit from the fact that they are not signatories with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the body that represents the likes of the big studios, whose residual payment practices and other issues form the core of the industrial action.

SAG-AFTRA published a list of 39 projects approved under the waiver system so far, including Mother Mary, starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel, and Death Of A Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, with the latter scheduled to begin shooting soon in Hungary.

Some of the shows and films have already shot, but need the waiver's permission for its stars to promote them. Here's the full list:
