Local 695 Impact Committee

BRING THE WORK HOME
"Runaway" production has come to mean those television and film productions developed and intended for initial release/exhibition or television broadcast in the U.S., but actually filmed in other countries. As more and more jobs leave California and the U.S., the negative impact of this problem effects an increasing number of people in our industry. Local 695 intends to do its part in the campaign to halt runaway production.
