REQUIREMENTS
If your department is listed below, there are no extra requirements
Currently, COVID-19 protocols are scaled back, and proof of vaccination status is not required to work on most productions. This is subject to change depending on the resurgence of COVID-19. Each production is responsible for implementing its own COVID-19 policies and procedures, which may include a vaccination policy, if necessary, to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.
