Job description

Seeking a Line Producer for an upcoming independent commercial production, offering co-producer credit and backend participation. This project is a visually striking, high-energy spot for a new tech product, combining modern aesthetics with a slightly comedic, aspirational tone. We're looking at a 2-day shoot in Los Angeles during the second half of November 2026, preceded by approximately 3-4 weeks of prep work. Flexible remote prep is possible, with on-site presence required for key pre-production meetings and the shoot. Expected work hours during the shoot days will be standard 10-12 hour days. You’ll be working closely with the director and production team to bring the creative vision to life within practical parameters. While we have basic production equipment, a strong network of trusted vendors and crew is a significant plus. Please submit your resume detailing relevant commercial experience and a list of 2-3 professional references.

• Your primary responsibilities will include overseeing all logistical and financial aspects from pre-production through wrap, managing budget adherence, vendor negotiations, scheduling, and ensuring a smooth production flow.
• We require someone with at least 5 years of experience as a Line Producer or UPM on commercial sets, a proven track record of managing budgets up to $200k, and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Meals, on-set craft services, and production insurance will be provided.
