Non-Signatory Productions & Budgeting
Budgeting & Rate Information
Information for productions that are not currently signatory and are seeking rate information for budgeting or planning purposes for a potentially union production.
For expectations and requirements once a production is under contract, see Productions Under Contract
Rate Information Requests
Rates for one-off (non-signatory) agreements may differ from signatory agreements.
Before rate information can be determined, productions must provide the following information on the IATSE Project Information Sheet, and submit it to the Local 488 Business Agents.
At minimum, the following is required:
- Production contact name
- Production company
- Estimated budget
- Filming location
Requests are forwarded to the West Coast Office of the IATSE for review, and rate information is usually provided in a short period of time.
Project Information SheetNext Steps
Submitting a request does not obligate the production to sign a contract. The Local 488 Business Agents or an IATSE Representative will follow up once reviewed.
