Are you preparing to take a project into production? Join representatives from IATSE 873 to learn more about how the union can support your upcoming production and its crewing needs. Have a greenlit or soon-to-be-greenlit project and looking to build your crew? This is an opportunity to connect directly with union representatives, ask questions, and learn more about the resources and support available to productions.
For those looking to enter the industry or develop their careers behind the scenes, this is also a chance to learn more about working in the different departments, union membership, and pathways into the industry.
Whether you're an emerging filmmaker, an experienced crew member, or a producer gearing up for your next shoot, come by, grab a drink, and connect with the people who help bring productions to life. Stick around after the conversation to meet the representatives and continue discussions about potential crewing needs.
