A freelance production assistant is someone who works on a contracted basis with film sets and production studios. Freelance production assistants may perform a variety of tasks, including assisting crew members, video and image editing, answering phones and emails, and more.
Freelance production assistants are able to choose what jobs they take and which they pass up on. Still, hiring managers will have high expectations for freelance production assistants. They should have a degree in a related field, relevant experience in the film and production industry, and a track record of successful contracts with previous clients.
