Protocol

If a crew member is unable to report to work during principal photography, they must contact the show’s Producer and the Head of Production as soon as possible, and no later than two hours before call time. 

The Producer and the Head of Production will then work through the following steps in sequence to determine the most appropriate solution:

1. If the Director is unable to work, advance to Step 8.
2. Bring the On-Call crew member on as a day player. If that is not viable, then…
3. Check to see if there is another first-year MFA student who isn’t working that day and is interested in filling in. If that is not viable, then…
4. Check to see if having a smaller crew and consolidating positions will work. If that is not viable, then…
5. Check to see if there is a second-year MFA student who is interested in filling in. If that is not viable, then…
6. Check to see if there is a second-year BFA student who is interested in filling in. If that is not viable, then…
7. Check to see if there is a first-year BFA student who is able and interested in filling in. If that is not viable, then…
8. Postpone or cancel the show, reworking the schedule as needed.
