    LOS ANGELES — Thousands of Hollywood crew members and their supporters gathered Sunday in the crisp morning air and muddy fields at Encino's Woodley Park in a show of support ahead of contract negotiations that begin this week with the major film and TV studios.

    Slogans such as "Fighting for living wages," and "Nothing moves without the crew" adorned dozens of tents representing everyone from cinematographers and costume designers to lighting technicians and video editors. Some demonstrators had just returned to work after last year's strikes by writers and actors, while others hadn't been employed since last summer.

    "Every union in the entertainment industry is standing here together, and that has never happened before," said Matthew Loeb, international president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, on Sunday. "We stand here together to demand fairness, to demand a living wage ... for everybody who works in this business."
