Craft service or craft services is the department in film, television and video production which provides cast and crew with snacks, drinks and other assistance.
Craft service workers are nicknamed "crafties" and are represented by a union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE). Other departments such as camera, sound, electricians, grips, props, art director, set decorator, special effects, hair and make-up, are referred to as crafts. Craft service is also an IATSE craft and the work is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Craft service is different from catering; craft service refers to the food always available to the crew while they are working, while catering is provided by a catering company or a restaurant and handles full meals.
Typically there is one main table where the snacks and coffee are set up (which is simply called "crafty" or "the crafty table"). Occasionally there are two craft service stations, with one being for cast and crew and another for non-union background actors. A "satellite" crafty may be set up next to the camera, as they may not be able to leave their workstations. In addition to snacks and drinks, the craft service department clears the set of trash. Aside from snacks and beverages, craft service may also supply bandages, aspirin, gum, antacids, toothpicks, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and hand-warmers.

​According to Deadline, the new DeKalb Entertainment Commission launched earlier this week with the mission to further grow the county’s film, television, music, and digital entertainment industries.

Starting October 21st, DeKalb Entertainment Commission will launch an entertainment expo event with panels, workshops and other resources for producers, aspiring filmmakers, and artists.

“The new DeKalb Entertainment Commission will be about making connections, building collaboration and creating amazing content,” said Andrew Greenberg, commission chairman. “It will be the economic engine that drives growth for our county across the entertainment industry, encouraging companies to locate here while creating jobs and spurring construction, development and overall industry growth.”
​
He added: “The commission will be an important resource for DeKalb County as the entertainment industry continues to grow across Georgia. It has already had an enormous economic impact statewide, with $9.5 billion in film and television, $3.7 billion in music and almost $2 billion in digital entertainment.”

Atlanta Craft Services and Catering is VERY HAPPY to report that Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has vetoed a bill that would have "legalized" discrimination of the LGBT community in the state of Georgia.

Aside from the proposed bill being WILDLY outrageous, it would have caused economic disaster for all things business related in the state of Georgia. 

Atlanta Craft Services sends a huge thank you to all of the support by the Movie and TV Production community here in the state, there is no doubt that without your outpouring of support, things could have gone down differently!
