Jobbeschreibung

Production Manager (Volunteer Role)

Project Type: Independent Poetic Documentary
Location: Berlin (Hybrid – on-location + remote coordination)
Time period: Immediate - end of 2026
Contract: Volunteering (with future compensation option)

About the Project

WILDE RENATE – A DREAM THAT DANCED is an independent poetic documentary exploring the emotional, cultural, and transformative legacy of the Berlin nightclub Wilde Renate. Told from the inside out, the film is a farewell ritual — a love letter between a space and the souls it held. We’re currently in pre‑production, with a committed core team already in place, including two producers (Anahita Safarnejad & Dimitri de Frouville), a Production Assistant, and a Director’s Assistant. We’re now looking for a Production Manager to join our journey and help coordinate the heart of this growing project.

Responsibilities

• Maintain a clear overview of the production process
• Organize and track archive material and permissions
• Manage production schedules, calendars, and call sheets
• Coordinate logistics (transport, permits, equipment, location access)
• Track expenses, budgeting, and assist with financial planning
• Support internal communication and team onboarding
• Ensure smooth collaboration between creative, technical, and post‑production departments
• Communicate closely with the producers and director to monitor timelines and deliverables

The Ideal Fit

The best fit would be someone who is currently a film or production student, eager to bring their expertise into a real, emotionally rich project. You love keeping things organized, thrive in chaotic creative environments, and enjoy being the bridge between vision and execution.

Requirements

• Studying or experience in film/documentary production or management
• Structured, hands‑on, reliable, and solution‑oriented
• Strong communication skills in German and English
• Confidence with tools like spreadsheets, emails, budgets, and schedules
• Curious and open to working in poetic/experimental cinema environments

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with Yamdu or similar tools
• Experience with archival footage organization
• Passion for Berlin’s club scene, independent filmmaking, or cultural memory projects

Compensation

This is currently a volunteer role, as the film is funded via crowdfunding and grant applications. Once production funding is secured, a fair compensation structure will be discussed and prioritized. In the event of a successful distribution and marketing, the fee will be paid out in retrospect up until at least the level of the national minimum wage or the pay scale fee.
