ROLLING OUT THE
RED CARPET IN D.C.
W
ashington, D.C., went to the movies
Sept. 10 — or rather, the movies
went to D.C. — when actors, crew and
industry officials visited the nation's
capital for Beyond the Red Carpet: TV &
Movie Magic Day.
The event, which took place in the
Cannon House Office Building and was
co-sponsored by SAG-AFTRA and the
Creative Rights Caucus, was a chance
for those who make their living in the
entertainment industry to showcase the
men and women whose skill,
talent and innovation create the magic
in the American film and television
industry. Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte
represented SAG-AFTRA on a panel
discussing the economic benefits
productions have on the communities
in which they film. The event drew more
than 400 attendees, including about
40 legislators.
The Congressional Creative Rights
Caucus is a bipartisan caucus dedicated
to protecting the rights of the creative
community. It is co-chaired by Rep. Judy
Chu and Rep. Howard Coble.
