The Automatic Enrollment Policy
To maintain the integrity of Prometheus Productions' contracts, there are special circumstances that will enroll a person into becoming a contracted actor/actress without the need for a physical signature. This policy is to preserve the rights of contracts preexisting, as allowing everyone to perform on camera without adhering to the terms of becoming a contract violates the conditions of their agreement.
Automatic enrollment into a contract requires several conditions to be met.
1) The person in question must be broadcasted through Prometheus Productions formats (either via live television, recorded television, streaming, film, etc.) and during that broadcast the individual must have vocalized at least ten words or have an uninterrupted presence of five minutes or a total of thirty minutes during the length of a single project (example: 1 tv/streaming episode or 1 film).
2) To qualify for automatic enrollment, the above condition must be performed under the direction of a script that was submitted to Prometheus Productions. The script must belong to the same project the individual is performing under. I.e. a person reading a line from Misery while performing on Myles Tonight will not be automatically enrolled. If the line was included in a submitted script to Myles Tonight in this scenario it then would be counted.
The automatic points total given to the contract will be set at a standard 250 until more are earned via normal points accrual procedures.
With this policy, all hired extras and contestants of reality/competition televised/streaming shows are required to reread these terms before every project they perform under, as they are statistically more likely to be automatically enrolled than any other group within Prometheus Productions; however, this is a required training annually for all employees of Prometheus Productions, regardless of role.
Examples of automatic enrollment:
Big Brother 6, episode 5. Remy McClure was given a script by producers to amplify drama for viewership. Although this is strongly discouraged for all reality and competition genres, Remy McClure agreed to perform as directed, therefore enrolling himself into a contract. Remy McClure was the first cancellation to be aired via Big Brother.
1996 Academy Awards. Director Lucas Ramirez controversially had taken notes during the ceremony by copying a presenter's lines verbatim, repeating them during his acceptance speech. It was later rumored that he had done so to star in his own project that he could see no one else filling besides himself. Ramirez recently died from self-inflicted causes.
