Learn about Working on a Film Crew

It’s time to dispel some of the myths and mysteries of working on a union film crew. IATSE Local 488 is the union that covers most film crew members of the Pacific Northwest. In this hour-long event, 488 VP Rebecca Cook will be discussing some common questions and misconceptions about union film work, including how to join the union, what it means to be a union member, and if union work is even right for you. We'll also give green filmmakers some basics on moving into professional film set work. We hope to answer any questions participants have about starting the journey into professional film crew work that they may have been afraid to ask. It's a great talk for students and new filmmakers or anyone wanting to understand where unions fit into our industry work.  

Wednesday, June 1 @ 6:00pm on Zoom. Register here.

Student and Parent/Visitor Parking

Parent/Visitor Parking: LC does not have designated visitor parking, so you can park at any of the metered spots across the street. For after-hours events, you can park for free in any of the parking lots under the freeway. The doors to the Commons building are handicap accessible.

Student Drop-off/Pick-Up: Before and after school, 4th Avenue in front of LC is a busy place with school buses and parents competing for limited space. In order to help alleviate congestion, we recommend that parents drop off and pick up students either on 5th Avenue, 3rd Avenue or a block east or west of LC on 4th Avenue. It is important to not park (even for a drop off) in the bus zones.

Student Parking: LC students can park in the two freeway lots (in front of the Field House and in front of the church to the east). Be sure to display your student parking permit to avoid getting a ticket in the student lots. Student parking permits can be purchased in the Business Office for $5. The lot directly in front of the main building and the parking garage are only for LC staff and are monitored for cars without staff permits.
