Should your previous experience position you for success as a Production Coordinator , we are open to providing the necessary training and skills development to grow into the role of Associate Producer.

About You ????

???? You are a natural problem solver who’s solution-oriented mindset is only matched by your love for finding the perfect meme that captures the absurdity of the problem itself.

Managing Set ???? With all the obstacles in the way of projects getting to camera, when we finally get to set, it’s happy days. With the creative in the capable hands of your Producer and Director, your attention will turn to client and crew happiness…what does that mean? Well it can mean a lot of different things depending on the nature of the shoot, but in essence, you are there to help make it all happen.
