    2024 IATSE Low Budget Theatrical Agreement Updates

    At GreenSlate, your production’s success is our mission, so we've outlined the 2024 IATSE Low Budget Theatrical Agreement updates to assist in budgeting, hiring crew, and determining benefits contributions.

    Minimum wage increase

    Wages increase by 4% year-to-year (effective January 1st, 2024) and vary by tier and position (please reference agreement).
