The Twin Cities Local turned out in force for the inaugural Catalyst Content Festival. The festival took place in Duluth, Minnesota, from Oct. 9–13.

The local sponsored the Zeitgeist Lounge and co-hosted a contracts workshop alongside SAGindie. Member ambassadors also helped to organize a table read workshop.

The festival’s executive director, Philip Gilpin Jr., said, “The strong support Catalyst received from SAG-AFTRA members was a vital component of what was a successful TV and film industry week in Duluth. … [We] look forward to growing an even stronger relationship with SAG-AFTRA in the coming year so that more talent can find pathways toward full-time employment in the industry we all love.”
