Why Unions and Studios Trust Hollywood CPR
For more than 30 years, Hollywood Cinema Production Resources has moved thousands of motivated Angelenos into high-wage union careers behind the scenes.
We don’t hand people jobs. We train people how to build careers in an industry that constantly changes.
That’s why many of our alumni stayed employed through industry downturns — and why more than 90% remain active union members after 15 or more years in one of the most competitive industries in the world. Your support reinforces a proven, IATSE-signatory workforce pipeline where effort converts into long-term employment for those who deserve it most.
