    • Explicitly requested by the advertiser or its agency,
    • Possessing “unique training, skill or knowledge of evolving technologies” (Please note that “familiarity with the production, cast, time period, or design team” are not considered unique for purposes of this provision.)

    • The Costumer requested will be assigned only to the specific performer
    • No MPC 705 crew member will be displaced due to the hiring of a “star request.”
  • Permit hires who receive 30 days or more within a 365-day period are required to apply for roster status and join MPC 705. Refusal to do so will result in a denial of future permits.
