$600/12 We're looking for an experienced Gaffer / AC / Swing to join us for a 10-day KitchenAid production at our studio in Irvington, NY. We're looking for someone with a strong lighting background who is confident taking the lead on lighting setups and working closely with our DP/director throughout the shoot. This is a small, collaborative crew, so the role will also involve swinging over to camera as needed. Solid AC experience and the ability to pull focus confidently are important. Above all, we're looking for someone who is highly skilled on the lighting side, technically sharp, collaborative, and comfortable moving between departments as the needs of the shoot change. Must be available for all 10 shoot days, October 14-27 (weekdays only). Please send over a brief note about your experience along with any relevant work/reel.
