There must be some rule of film that forbids 13-19 year olds being on camera. Young children are played by actual children. Elderly people are played by the elderly. But teenagers are almost always someone between 20 and 30 and not an actual teenager. What’s up with that?
The labor laws for children (<18) in film are brutal. As they should be.
You assume they follow the law
That’s exactly where it would be followed.
When they get caught, sure…then they partly their lobby fees and it gets sweeped under the rug. These mega corps don’t play by our rules, they have no rules.
That’s what unions are for, which are very strong in the movie business.
Sigh. This is exactly where it’s easily monitored (part of the regulation I’m pretty sure), observable, and thus enforceable.
Unions are very, very strong in that industry. The regs are followed.
Big exception being animators :')
