    John Lindley, ASC, National President of International Cinematographers Guild

    Voting Conducted Online to Alleviate COVID-19 Safety Concerns

    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --

    Following a special online meeting of the International Cinematographers Guild’s (ICG, IATSE Local 600) National Executive Board, John Lindley, ASC, has been elected as the guild’s new national president. A guild member for 32 years, Lindley was the second national vice president and has served on the National Executive Board for 13 years. This election, held within 30 days in compliance with the guild’s Constitution & Bylaws, follows the resignation of the previous national president, Lewis Rothenberg, eight months into his three-year term. Lindley was elected with an overwhelming majority on the first online ballot and will serve out the remainder of Rothenberg’s term.

    Lindley has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy®, won an ASC Award in 2015 and has been nominated for numerous other awards. Recent credits include Castle Rock, Unbelievable, Divorce, and Snowfall.  Among the films he has worked on as director of photography are Pleasantville, Core, Legion and Sneakers.

    Lindley stated, “I am honored to be elected by the National Executive Board to serve the members of Local 600 as National President at this challenging time of change in the industry and our country. I am also grateful to Dejan Georgevich, ASC, for stepping in as interim national president and for the commitment and skill of National Executive Director Rebecca Rhine and the entire staff. Our leadership team will now continue the important work of our members and our union.”

    Baird Steptoe Sr. Elected Second National Vice President to Replace John Lindley
    Baird Steptoe Sr., first assistant, was elected as second national vice president to fill the vacancy created by John Lindley, the previous office holder, in an additional election held at the same NEB meeting in compliance with the guild’s Constitution & Bylaws. Steptoe, whose two sons are also members of the ICG, has been a member of Local 600 for 45 years and on the NEB for 13. A long-time guild activist, his leadership and dedication to the craft, industry and the membership has been demonstrated by his involvement with the technician’s rate arbitration, training, diversity and safety committees and most recently as a chairperson for the Shop Steward program. Notable career credits include Congo, The Bodyguard, and The Happening. The Society of Camera Operators (SOC) honored Steptoe with their Camera Technician Lifetime Award in 2013.

    Rebecca Rhine, national executive director of the guild stated, “On behalf of the staff, I want to congratulate John and Baird and express my appreciation to all of the officers and board for their commitment and support. The collaboration between elected members and staff is essential to our ability to get the work done our members expect and deserve.”

    Voting Conducted Online to Alleviate COVID-19 Safety Concerns 
    As dictated by the guild’s Constitution & Bylaws, the election was required to take place within 30 days of the February 14 resignation of the former national president. The ICG modified the original plans for an in-person meeting in Los Angeles, and decided to hold regional meetings in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York and Chicago, and ultimately online, to address the safety concerns created by the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. The 93 seated board members or alternates across the country logged on to ZOOM to participate in the complete nominating and voting process. TrueBallot, Inc., who conducted the guild’s election in 2016, administered the online election to provide secure and confidential voting and tabulation in real time. The process was monitored by members of the guild’s election committee, Heather Pearson, in-house counsel, and James Stewart, a professional registered parliamentarian, who has been retained by the ICG for the last year to observe board meetings and consult on established parliamentary procedures.

    About THE INTERNATIONAL CINEMATOGRAPHERS GUILD (ICG, Local 600)

The first cinematographers’ union was established in New York in 1926, followed by unions in Los Angeles and Chicago, but it wasn’t until 1996 that Local 600 was born as a national guild.

    “The Good Wife” Star Archie Panjabi Boards ‘FLIGHT 182’ as EP, Calls It Her “Favorite Film of the Year”

    Thursday, May 1, 2025
    Archie Panjabi and Rippin Sindher

    Emmy®-winning actor Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife, Hijack) has joined the acclaimed live-action short FLIGHT 182 as an executive producer. The film has been nominated for Best Short Film at Sundar Prize Film Festival, awarded Best Short Honorable Mention at International South Asian Film Festival of Canada, and will head to Oscar-qualifying festivals including the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, after being featured at Tasveer.

    Written and directed by Rippin Sindher, FLIGHT 182 centers on a pregnant wife, played by Sundeep Morrison, determined to protect her husband from boarding a flight in June of 1985, at the peak of political uprising, that could uproot their family. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the real-life tragedy.

    “Rippin Sindher is one of the most electrifying new voices in film today. With FLIGHT 182, she reclaims history with empathy and cinematic precision.” Panjabi continues, “Her ability to strike at the emotional core of an audience has rightfully caught the attention of Sundance, Shondaland and Ryan Murphy TV, among others. She’s not just emerging, she’s arriving with purpose.”

    Panjabi is best known for her Emmy®-winning role as Kalinda Sharma in CBS’s The Good Wife. She recently starred opposite Idris Elba in Apple TV+’s Hijack and appears in Hulu’s limited series Under the Bridge, based on the true story of Reena Virk. She gained early recognition for her roles in East Is East and the beloved classic Bend It Like Beckham.
