I NEED YOUR STORY-
I need some approx 1-3 min videos of those involved in every aspect of our industry talking about how they have been affected by the shut down- for example comparing this time last year to this time right now.. I want to do a whole collection of them on the website so I can personalize and humanize our industry- I want to put faces to the words “entertainment industry” - you can talk about how things are harder, what’s happened in your life and career.. if you don’t want to film yourself perhaps you can speak to others using your smartphone- you can even speak over a video of an empty arena or over pictures of what shows you may have done..personalize this so people get the problems we are having- it doesn’t have to be slick it just needs to be real and from the heart- any industry from travel agent to merch, catering, foh, LD, tv, video, movies and so on.. I just need to know.. this will go up on the roadiecare YouTube channel and be linked to the website- I would love as many as I can get- feel free to do them in person or via zoom- they can be edited in iMovie or whatever editor you choose- I am also looking for bloggers in our industry to link to if you blog or if you know anyone who does.. if this is something you can help out in anyway please let me know - thank you!! 🙂

Advocacy for the Entertainment Industry Crews (WE ALREADY PROVIDE)
Anyone who is hurt by the loss of the $600 weekly stimulus in the Entertainment industry or any industry that supports live events should participate!!
This time ironically we were the among first ones out and will be among the last ones back in. Unlike days at shows when we are the first ones in, and leave long after the crowd is home in their jammies!
We are worth protecting as an industry and especially the people who make the impossible happen every night and make it look so damn easy!
Venues have people speaking up for them but not crew-and I’ve been an advocate for crew for over 30 yrs..the whole idea behind this is to make sure crew are not forgotten- 600$ a week is what was just removed from the weekly unemployment checks which makes it almost impossible to eat and pay rent almost anywhere- I want crew to be safe, fed and not homeless. That’s what the special events are about- to show to the media we really matter and exist! Eventually, we can get some streaming concerts going as well, proceeds can go to the organizations that are there to assist when we need them- other plans are in the works-other events are upcoming..
I am coordinating Entertainment industry ALL CREWS INCLUDED special project in the USA as well as worldwide. Looking for others to assist me in their areas. We will have additional case pushes as well as events through out the year so there will be plenty of opportunities to be involved as well as see other roadies and crew. This pandemic can make this time very depressing and make it very lonely-we are making sure that you have plenty of resources and ways to be in touch with others and even have some fun! DON'T GIVE UP!!
I’m also looking at having some bands do some streaming shows and donating some of the proceeds to the non profits to feed and assist those in the industry in need so if you are interested in taking part in the streaming performances please let me know!
So calling all Stagehands - Union and Non / Venue Staff / Promoters / Merchandise Companies / Music Manufacturers / Food Vendors / Backline-Audio-Lighting-Video Companies / Film Makers / Actors / Musicians, even D.J.'s!! ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY PEEPS ARE WELCOME!
We will also be looking for those that have a personal relationship with major artists to reach out and try and get them involved more too since it is their asses on the line along with ours in many cases.
I am sure between all IATSE, production shops, sound, light and video companies, techs, writers, gig workers, crews of all types, roadies,Hollywood Movie and TV Production and all the industry local companies in the USA and world if possible-ALL ARE WELCOME-Whoever wants to assist in anything in their areas let me know too and I can update you regarding any updated production info there is.
