Dear experienced and helpful filmmakers,
I have just finished production on an independent film. It went amazing! As we enter postproduction, I am wondering if anyone knows the etiquette on when to release reels to the actors.
I can understand that they want their work sooner rather than later. However, if they wait until the film is cut, they will get a higher quality reel by far. I know -- if I were them -- I would much prefer to receive the edited scene than the uncut footage.
Is there a standard rule for this?
Thank you so much in advance.
