Historical NotesJean-Pierre Nutini was a rigging gaffer, best boy, and actor who worked on nearly every major motion picture filmed in Pittsburgh from the early 1990s until his death in 2013. Along with his work in the film industry, Nutini also worked on concerts, stage performances, and political rallies, and was active in SAG-AFTRA Local 3, a stagehands union. He was also a charter member of IATSE local 489, known as “Iron City Grips.” The "Promised Land" baseball cap is part of larger collection of film and set memorabilia from Jean-Pierre Nutini, and the baseball caps and t-shirts were made expressly for the film crew, either by the crew themselves or by the production companies.
