Rules and Laws
Did you know that in the state of
California, Studio Teachers are required even during the summer? In New

changes to their child labor laws?

In a recent L.A. Business Journal article
on Children In Film, Manager Steven Nash of Arts &
Letters explained that before there was ChildrenInFilm.com, he had to call the
labor board of a particular state where a film or television show was being
shot and get the most up-to-date labor information, a tedious process to say
the least.
"Now, I just point and click,"
Nash said.
