Missouri Valley

Missouri Valley is the heartland of SAG-AFTRA. Rich in history, we offer scenic and iconic filming locations, including urban settings, rural landscapes, small towns, open plains, mountains, cliffs, lakes, rivers and streams. We represent diverse SAG-AFTRA members that work as on-camera actors, stunt performers, dancers, singers, voiceover artists and other media professionals that call Missouri Valley home. Missouri Valley also represents one of the largest densities of broadcasters and media professionals in the Midwest. Our well-trained, skilled crew member base, professional agents, and casting services offer added incentives to bring new members and productions to our region. Whether you’re a performer looking for information about our market or a producer interested in employing our diverse and experienced talent, the Missouri Valley Local has everything you need.

With our incredibly strong and supportive team of local staff and leaders, our mission is to improve the lives of members and their families by preserving and expanding local work opportunities. It is important to us that we keep our members informed about our union and our local. Throughout this website, you will find news, upcoming events and important information you should know as a SAG-AFTRA member and as a member of the Missouri Valley Local.    

My dedication to educating and empowering members, bringing work to our region and ensuring protections for members will continue to be the foundation of my commitment to the Missouri Valley Local. I will always do my best to represent the interests of every one of you. I hope to inspire members to get involved in growing our local by joining committees and union service. Your engagement is integral to Missouri Valley’s success. If you would like to get involved or have suggestions or questions, please contact me at MV.President@sagaftra.org. 

Your SAG-AFTRA local is here to serve you.
