We are IATSE.
We are the people behind the scenes. The ones who make the magic. Our members are working hard every day to make our jurisdiction the world’s premiere destination for motion picture, television, and commercial production.
Many Crafts. One Local.
Our members’ skills are wide-ranging, unified in the principles of trade unionism and the representation of every worker employed in our crafts, based on the IATSE’s long history of pursuing fair wages and working conditions for all of our members.
Our Jurisdiction.
Local 479 represents professional below-the-line technicians that work on productions in Alabama and Georgia.
Based in Atlanta.
IATSE Local 479 is headquartered in the Atlanta Tradeport, due east of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The facility features offices, an auditorium, workshops, classroom spaces, and a rooftop solar array.
Members Training Members.
Local 479 has a long history of veteran members training new members. Today, this tradition of preserving generational knowledge is combined with industry standards and best practices in a state-of-the-art training facility.
Engaging Our Community.
This is our home and we care about our neighbors and the communities we live in. Our members work together through the year to host events designed to raise money and awareness for local causes.
