This role is a part-time, in-person role in the Greater Boston Area.

You’re positive, reliable, and resourceful. You’re willing to jump in on any task, big or small, and take pride in being someone the team can count on. You’re excited to learn production and understand that supporting a successful shoot means doing both the exciting and behind-the-scenes work.

Personality and attitude matter more to us than previous production experience.

• Help with setup, breakdown, organization, and cleanup
• Pick up and return equipment, supplies, food, and props
• Run errands, shopping, returns, and production pickups

• 0–3 years of experience, with preference for candidates early in their careers or recently out of college
• Positive, can-do attitude and strong work ethic
• Reliable, organized, and comfortable taking direction
• Strong communication skills and resourcefulness
• Must have a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle
• Flexible availability, including weekends, early mornings, and non-traditional shoot hours
• Production (especially in food!) experience is a plus, not a requirement
