The Roster
The Motion Picture Industry Experience Roster is a list of persons, e.g., Art Directors and Assistant Art Directors who, by virtue of their work experience, are entitled to "preference of employment" over persons not on the Roster. The Roster is maintained by the Contract Services Administrative Trust Fund (CSATF) and is separate and apart from the Union. To get onto the Roster, one must apply to Contract Services and have worked on a total of no less than 30 days for one or more signatory companies within the one-year period immediately preceding application for Roster placement. Or, one qualifies for placement by demonstrating 175 days' employment as a film or TV Production Designer, Art Director, or Assistant Art Director on union or non-union projects in the three years preceding application for Roster placement. There is also a Commercial Industry Experience Roster; 30 days working for a commercial signatory is required, and an additional 90 days of commercial work qualifies the person for placement on the Motion Picture Experience Industry Roster. This is a list of individuals available for employment in their respective categories. Members should call the office when available and wishing to be placed on the List; conversely, members should call when no longer available and they then will be removed from the List.
