Adam Driver makes an appearance at the Venice Film Festival with a special waiver to promote his film and questions the integrity of bigger studios.
Not long after the trailer for Michael Mann’s trailer for Ferrari premiered online, the film’s cast arrived at the Venice Film Festival with SAG-AFTRA waiver in tow that grants them the special privilege to promote the film. The film is an epic portrayal of this particular period of Enzo Ferrari’s career. It’s surprising that such a production wasn’t led by a major studio. Instead, it was distributed by the indie company Neon. Instead, the indie company Neon is distributing Ferrari. Mann said, “The origins of this movie and the content in the screenplay as well as the movie you saw does not fit into what would be accepted by the conventional studio system.” It’s truly appropriate that it is an independent film being distributed by Neon, a very independent distributor.”
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the film’s star, Adam Driver, spoke on the Neon company being able to allow their business with the movie to continue by complying to SAG-AFTRA’s stipulations. “Why can a smaller company like STX International or Neon meet the demands that SAG has made in this pre-negotiation, but a large company like Netflix or Amazon cannot? When this opportunity came up, it seemed like — understanding the interim agreement — a no-brainer for all of these reasons as to why you want to support your union.” So when this opportunity came up, it seemed like — understanding the interim agreement — a no-brainer for all of these reasons of why you want to support your union.”
Michael Mann shared the sentiment when stating, “Ferrari got made because the people who worked on Ferrari made it by forgoing large sectors of salaries, in the case of Adam and myself. It wasn’t made by a major studio. No big studio gave us a check. And that’s why we’re here, standing in solidarity.” The director of Heat and The Last of the Mohicans would also go on to show his support by saying those involved with the film are “individually and collectively we all stand in total solidarity with SAG and the writers guild strike as well.”
