Are you interested in being the point person on a film set responsible for how the day runs and coordinating the structure and workflow of the day? Do you have a drive to shoulder the responsibility of keeping a production on track, ensuring clear and concise communication between the higher ups and the below the line team and being the directors right hand for any and all needs? Welcome to being a 1st AD.

The role of the 1st AD is, above all, to work to fulfill the vision of the director by creating and executing a schedule while coordinating all elements of the set, maintaining a safe working environment and making decisions based on the practical realities and limitations of the production. It is often one of the least desired jobs on set, yet it is one of the most instrumental and necessary jobs to ensure the success of any production.

• Do you want to discover the tools at your disposal to enhance your work and elevate your skills to the next level?
