  • Follow the established production chain of command.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality regarding scripts, storylines, locations, cast information, business matters, and unreleased production content.

  • Must be comfortable traveling when production requires it.
  • Ability to stand and move around for extended periods and assist with reasonable production-related physical tasks.
  • Must demonstrate discretion, maturity, dependability, and professionalism.

Confidentiality

Because Production Assistants may have access to confidential scripts, schedules, talent information, business information, and unreleased content, confidentiality is a condition of working with the production.
