Our annual Beer & Burgers is here just in time for spring! Network with fellow script supervisors IRL, meet new friends, and come tell us what you’ve been up to all winter! We want to hear your thoughts on Oscar winners this year, any projects you’ve worked on (both on and off set), and what you’re looking forward to as the weather warms up (work or otherwise). First round is on us!  

December 8th, 11am-1pm EST @ Zoom

​

Are you a Script Supervisor who constantly takes your work home over the weekend, works through lunch, or spends too much time at the end of the day finishing up your notes? Perhaps you find yourself having trouble keeping up on set? Please join us for a discussion with Local 161 Script Supervisor and Director Olenka Denysenko as she shares time-management techniques to maximize your time during prep and on set so that you can do your job more effectively and efficiently.

​

What we will cover:

• How to keep track of your prep time

• When/How to prep if you’re not alternating episodes

• How to take efficient notes

• How to keep track of multiple cameras without falling behind from setup to setup

• How to identify when you need more time to prep or to update your breakdown and how to ask for it

• How to wrap quickly and efficiently

September 22nd, 11am-1pm EST @ Le Pain Quotidien, E44th St (Madison/Fifth Ave)

Happy fall y'all! The network returns with our usual coffee social.

​

To kick things off in the new season, the topic of discussion will be SHADOWING AND ASSISTING experiences. Though rare, these opportunities do pop up from time to time in different and particular situations. We will hear from members who have been recruited as a script supervisor PA on a TV episodic, undertaken a studio-sponsored traineeship, and also worked on set as a dialogue tracker. They will share what they learned in their particular roles and what insights they were able to take away from their unique experiences.

​

Join us for some face time with your fellow script supervisors. New members are particularly encouraged to attend. Coffee/tea is on us!

Please RSVP to the email invite. * We will also be collecting dues for the 2024-2025 season *
