How the Hollywood strikes are affecting Hawaii’s film industry
HONOLULU — Fairai Richmond has been a member of the American actors’ union SAG-AFTRA since he was 9 years old. Now 40, he has been a part of almost every aspect of the film industry throughout his life: production assistant, locations manager, stuntman, actor, film director and writer.
“It’s very scary (right now) because I’m an actor in the Screen Actors Guild; I’m a stuntman in the Screen Actors Guild. … the majority of my income comes from that one guild,” said Richmond.
