And the pictures that were placed so perfectly are in a crazy collage. Now that article has become unreadable, and you’re never going to that site again.

Luckily, there’s a fix for that.

MTC builds a new look and a membership portal for IATSE Local 481 New England, Studio Mechanics

May 30, 2013

Connecting, organizing and mobilizing stakeholders with varying goals can be a challenge. But with a partnership between IASTE Local 481 and Massachusetts Technology Corporation, the right team was in place.

IATSE481 New England Studio Mechanics is a regional local of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. It includes members from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont who work on TV commercials, movies and films with wide ranging fields such as such as gaffers, set construction, costume design and sound.

The local works hard to ensure members are employed, educated and active in the community, but their outdated website was holding them back. This is where MTC stepped in.

MTC worked with this national nonprofit to build uniformity in their offline and online assets, and install the Umbraco content management system.
