This weekend, a huge stage fire absolutely destroyed equipment, structure, and pretty much everything that it could consume, in Mumbai during a political rally.  These videos are unreal – pay particular attention to the rigging of the gear as it is on fire. Fortunately, the news is saying no one was reported hurt.  Bollywood rockstars Amitabh […]

If you’ve been paying attention, you’d notice how polarizing this 2016 Presidential Race has been among our community.  We’ve got IATSE saying they’re supporting Clinton, but a really large majority of the membership is saying “absolutely not are we voting for Hillary, we’re feeling the Bern.” Then there’s Trump.  And Ben Carson.  And still, for […]
