When will Crew Appreciation Day be celebrated? October 4th of each calendar year.
What is Crew Appreciation Day? Crew Appreciation Day is a celebration of the film and TV crews that work to bring the imaginative stories we love to life. Crew Appreciation Day is about recognizing the people who light the stages, hold the cameras, and chase down the walkie talkies. In short, it’s about celebrating the people who bring this country’s rich cinematic tradition to life—especially the ones who don’t get to appear in magazines or at the Oscars.
How should Crew Appreciation Day be celebrated or observed? People should watch a great movie or TV show! Wrapbook will also be providing a lot of great thought leadership content through social media, blogs, & events.
Why was Crew Appreciation Day created? Film and TV entertainment is one of America’s greatest national exports, but the below-the-line crew members that bring these stories to life are often under-appreciated. There are no award shows for gaffers. There are no breathless magazine profiles about focus-pullers. But without these people, your favorite movie—the one that really meant something to you—never would have existed. Crew Appreciation Day is a small opportunity to recognize the people who work behind the scenes.
Who created this day? This day was created by Wrapbook in 2024.
