NEXT MEETING


UNSUNG HEROES OF THE SET

Assistant Directors, and Production Designers and 2nd even 3rd Camera, and a whole team for sound?  Oh my!  How did my production get so big? 

Continuity, script supervising, checklists, and call lists, and all I want is to get my vision on film!  Why do I need notes from sound recording and camera operation and transfer?  Can’t I fill out the SAG forms later?

The Unsung Heroes of the Set want to dispel those fix-it-post and skimping-on-crew notions that plague productions because, without enough crew, the director’s vision and the producers’ budget can be compromised very quickly.  

Fortunately, our panel of experts, all Unsung Heroes of the Set, will discuss what jobs must be assigned to streamline pre-production, production, and post-production, and how to hire crew members who are committed to getting director’s vision to the screen!

Those Unsung Heroes of the Set confirmed by press time include:

Whirrly the sacred blender
Matt Romano - Production Designer
Heather Hogan - Field Producer / Assistant Director, DGA.
Anthony Cabral - Assistant Director
