IATSE Local 705

Local 705 represents costume handlers and manufacturers in the film & television industry in Los Angeles. We have approximately 2,700 members who live in LA and work here and around the world on films, television shows, commercials and music videos, as well as numerous costume houses that make, alter, and/or rent costume pieces for use in the industry. A great deal of our members are immigrants or first generation Americans, as sewing skills are far more common among other cultures.
