What You'll Own
- Travel and movement for cast and crew: flights, hotels, ground transport, per diems, and call sheets that get everyone to the right place on time
- Onsite logistics that keep the shoot day running: crew meals and craft services, gear and equipment coordination, location access, and the run of show from call to wrap
- The production paperwork that keeps a shoot legitimate and buttoned up: permits, releases, vendor invoices, petty cash and expense tracking, and location agreements
- Wired for logistics. You spot the gaps before they open and quietly close them, and a loose end nags at you until it's tied off.
- Production coordination experience or a comparable role juggling travel, vendors, budgets, and a dozen moving parts at once
- Grace under fire in the field, rebooking a flight, resourcing a location, or fixing a catering fall-through without dropping anything else
- YouTube experience is a major plus, along with experience on unscripted or documentary field productions where schedules shift constantly and success depends on adapting as the day unfolds.
- A working vendor, crew, and location Rolodex you can activate fast
- Fluency in the tools of the trade: call sheets, production schedules, budget tracking, and scheduling or project management software
