Paragraph 1 of the Ultra Low Budget agreement says, in part: “It, is not intended for pictures produced for television broadcast, cable use, video/DVD markets or otherwise produced primarily for commercial exploitation.” Does this mean, after you make your movie you’re not supposed to sell it? http://www.microfilmmaker.com/Editorials/edit65.html

That clause is incredibly limiting. I have heard so many mixed reviews of the Ultra Low Budget option. We talked about it during On Stage With RB in November: https://www.stage32.com/media/1301431357276169923
That is discouraging. However, when was this article published? SAG-AFTRA is now one union, not separate. Yet the article mentions that AFTRA and SAG are "sister" unions. I would look at current rules for ULB and New Media. Hopefully the situation has improved and ultra low budget productions can get distribution.
