5) Do you have any hopes for the new Minnesota film incentive?
I think the new film incentive will bring some larger projects into Minnesota. There are many people in IATSE 490 with deep experience in film making and I believe we can shine as a quality destination to produce excellent films, television and ads.
6) How long have you been a member of Local 490?
I joined IATSE 490 in 2019.
Local 490 is proud to have members like Tiny Proctor, Dieter & Evonne Sturm on our special effects roster. All of these union members are the best in their stagecraft. You can find out more about Tiny’s work at his website.
Please support our film industry by hiring members like Tiny Proctor and shooting your next production on a union contract. In doing so, you are getting the best crew in Minnesota, your project will be safe, well run, your crew will be professional. You will be paying the crew good wages, supplying workers comp, unemployment insurance and even retirement benefits. This supports our union brothers and sisters before, during and after your project. Contact our business agent at this email, businessagent@iatse490.net, to find out more about shooting union.
