Paperwork and Protocols

This event will be held in person.

Where: The Kaufherr Center (KRC) - 1 E. Erie, Suite 660, Chicago IL

With film and episodic production beginning to pick up, so too has confusion about exactly what kind of paperwork is required before shooting begins, when reporting to set, and following the production wrap.  

You are invited to join us for a workshop to inform members about what is expected when you show up to work on Day 1.  

Join us for a presentation lead by Kathy Byrne (Senior Director of TV & Theatrical, Chicago local) and Anthony Cabral (1st AD, and member of DGA, Producers Guild of America, and SAG-AFTRA)

Don’t miss out on the chance to learn, confirm, and discuss how members can help streamline the paperwork process from audition to wrap.
