IATSE Applauds Building Momentum for US Federal Film and Television Production Incentive As Trump Announces Support

IATSE welcomes President Donald Trump's public endorsement of a federal film and television production incentive and is encouraged to see growing support for a policy the union has championed for years, Tuesday.

IATSE was the first labor group in the United States to call for a federal incentive to strengthen domestic film and television production. The union has long believed a federal incentive is an necessary tool to level the playing field with countries that have aggressively attracted production through generous, and often permanent incentive programs.

IATSE has been at the forefront of efforts to advance a federal production incentive and is actively working with Special Ambassador Jon Voight and industry stakeholders to develop a framework that can win broad support. Earlier this year, Voight highlighted the importance of a federal approach to strengthening domestic production and protecting American entertainment jobs. Through that effort, IATSE has worked as the tip of the spear in bringing labor's voice directly into the conversation and ensuring that workers remain at the center of any solution.

IATSE is actively engaged with a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in Congress to draft, introduce, and pass federal incentive legislation as quickly as possible to return and maintain film jobs in America.

Did you know there's a difference in the costumes built for stage and those built for film and tv?

Our Spring issue of featured Marcia Moore, who breaks these differences down for you.

“Working on garments for television requires much more precision. Everything is more noticeable on camera than on a stage. It can feel more tedious, but I enjoy every step of the process, and seeing my work bring a character to life. The main difference between working in theater versus TV is the way the garments are constructed. In theater, garments are flatlined, which makes alterations easier and faster due to time constraints and the need for versatility for different principal actors and stand-ins, whereas in TV, there must be multiple garments, each tailor-fitted to principals and doubles.”

“The smallest detail that I’ve been assigned to is the “pom continuity” which is often deciding which color fuzzy pompom Morgan (Kaitlin Olson’s character) has on her purse’s bag charm for each change. It’s such an insane detail but I love it and love it even more when it gets featured on camera.”

Spotlight on a wizard in 3D: Kourtney Coats.

“Being able to work with the folks I’ve been able to work with: the other Specialty Costumers, the Pattern Makers, the Stitchers, the Tailors, the Molders, the Casters, who the average person doesn’t think about being behind the scenes, that’s one of my favorite things. It makes you smile to start a new project with new people, new creative processes, new personalities.”
