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 DR unable to work, advance to Step 7.
2. Check to see if having a smaller crew and consolidating positions will work. If that is not viable, then…
3. Check to see if there’s a second-year MFA (such as one of the students in pre-production) who’s able to fill in. If not, then…
4. Check to see if there’s a first-year MFA who’s able to fill in. If not, then…
5. Check to see if there’s a third-year BFA who’s able to fill in. If not, then…
6. Check to see if there’s a first-year BFA who’s able to fill in. If not, then…
7. Postpone or cancel the shooting day, reworking the schedule as needed.
