SAG yesterday released the official list of candidates for its upcoming national board elections. Notably, all of the open seats in La (the Hollywood Division) are held by MembershipFirst members, which means that, as was the case last year, Mf can at best maintain its level of representation on the national board. More likely, it will lose some of its board seats.
On the Hollywood divisional board, Mf could gain or lose, as all division seats are up every year. This contrasts with the national board, where approximately 1/3 of the 69 seats are up in any given year. The president and secretary-treasurer, who are ex officio members of the board, have two-year terms, and are not up for election this year.
Ballots in Hollywood and New York will be mailed on August 24 with a return deadline and tabulation on September 23. Election results are expected to be announced that evening.

Already shown at the Porta Vallarta Film Festival in December (as seen here), The Donner Party is making an impact on DVD store shelves January 26th. Starring the phenomenal Crispin Glover (Charlie's Angels) and others, The Donner Party involves the real life account of several settlers who became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Also, loosely, the basis for the film Necrosis, the first trailer for The Donner Party shows hopelessness, looming starvation, and some characters changing from sanity to madness under dire and stressful circumstances. The film has two positives and possibly more in that the film offers some historical lessons and an entertaining look at what people will go to in order to survive (cannibalism, murder). Have a look at the trailer inside along with other important details from the The Donner Party.
