Call Time Agreement

Coordinate wrap times and call times across shows to ensure compliance with turnaround policies.

Overview

The Call Time Agreement establishes expectations about crew turnaround times during production activities. It’s for use only when two separate productions share crew members and are shooting on consecutive days, to ensure that everyone gets ten hours of turnaround between wrap on the first show and the next day’s call time on the second show.

Carefully planned call times are essential because film production depends heavily on coordination between departments operating within limited schedules and shared production resources. Ensuring that all crew members have adequate turnaround time before a day’s call is an important safety consideration that must take priority over any other production need.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a form for producers and directors to use when coordinating wrap times and call times for shows that shoot on consecutive days. Its purpose is to ensure that a minimum turnaround of 10 hours occurs between the company wrap on the incoming show and the call time the next day on the outgoing show.
