After the killing of one of their own on the “Rust” set, the pandemic and a contentious bargaining round, cinematographers confront leadership change.
“There’s a disconnect between leadership and rank and file members,” said L.A.-based Sam Petrov, a 26-year-old digital imaging technician who joined Local 600 in 2017 and is co-chair of its young workers group.
“There are many new members in Local 600 now that have never been through the process of negotiations,” said cinematographer and three-term former local President Steven Poster, who agreed with Lindley that first camera assistant is the local’s first Black president and only the third who is not a cinematographer. He beat out two other incumbent candidates for the position; if confirmed by the board, he will take office in mid-June.
He highlighted his chairmanship of the on-set shop steward training program, which gives workers greater representation at work. He also co-chaired the local’s inclusion committee.
