IATSE Local 849 has represented crew on over 450 projects for the past 35 years. 

We use promulgated agreements based on our Basic Standard Agreement. This allows for flexible contracts and the ability to grant variances to better support your project’s unique circumstances and needs. 

Do you have a restrictive budget and can't sign a full contract? We would still be delighted to work with you - talk to us about a Letter of Dispensation! Typically a 1-3 page agreement, a Letter of Dispensation usually outlines basic working conditions or benefits for crew working on your production that fits with your budget. 

We are excited to work with you on your upcoming project! Get in touch to find out more information on signing a collective agreement or working with IATSE Local 849 crew to bring your project to life.
