Thanks for posting… I had my guy reach out to you (his background is in theatre/architecture at LSU, late 20’s, BTR, some limited/entry prior experience as a PA)

My son reached out. Thinks it’s a great opportunity. Just wrapped up his Masters in Art History.

I have his info as well .... some good candidates going through. There is only one art department job, but i'm going to pass on all candidates to the general production as well. Not as sexy, but also a paying gig on the film.

Thanks ...

JW…off topic but
I didn’t see a way to reach you directly in the thread but I would love to intro you to my son. We are based in San Diego and he is a steady cam operator & DP.
He has worked on multiple music videos, short films. A TV pilot and documentaries.
Would love to send you his contact info for possible future collab.

I'm returning home for a studio feature film that will be based out of BR starting next month. Not ideal for having to bring most of the crew in from NOLA, but opens up and interesting opportunity for someone in BR that might want to break into or continue in the business as a production assistant (in the Art Department). I am interested in someone who genuinely wants to work and learn. No real experience needed. Generally, these jobs are filled by 20 somethings who might have gone to art school or studied GFX etc. Not a requirement of course, but helps if they have a similar background.

This is a decently paid gig and I like getting new people involved, so if you know someone that might be interested in joining the circus that is filmmaking, come forward. It's a full time, 50 hour a week job .... and not an internship. Why here? I would rather start in the TD universe than say traditional social media or god help us -- Craigslist.

Just a thought and wanted to throw it out there just in case a really good candidate is out there.




I actually explored trying to get a job in the industry a few years ago but nothing ever materialized. I was looking for an assistant production accountant role. Unfortunately, I'm not in the BR area but if you ever have openings in Alabama, feel free to reach out.
