Every film, from low-budget independents to blockbuster hits, relies on the dedication of countless crew members. Crew Appreciation Day, now officially observed on October 4, honors the essential personnel behind the scenes—those who set up, rig, and execute the productions of films, TV shows, commercials, and music videos.
Production crews are the backbone of the entertainment industry, working tirelessly behind the scenes. While actors, directors, and writers often receive public acclaim, it's the crew who ensure every production is safe and successful.
However, the industry faces significant challenges, including a notable scarcity of jobs, which has placed additional pressure on these vital workers.
The inaugural Crew Appreciation Day 2024 is Friday, October 4. Why this particular date?
Step onto any production set and within minutes you’ll hear the refrain “10-4” from a walkie-talkie or nearby crew member. Radio code for “message received,” it’s only fitting that Crew Appreciation Day should take place on a date that correlates with a term symbolizing acknowledgement and recognition.
Initiated by Wrapbook, Crew Appreciation Day aims to build a yearly tradition on October 4 of gratitude within the entertainment industry with recognition not only from others to their crew friends, family, or employees, but also from one industry colleague to another.
