The role is a hybrid position covering production design, wardrobe, and props responsibilities. This is not a large-scale art department role — the film is primarily dialogue and performance driven, with a stripped-down, naturalistic documentary style. Most shoot days are simple exterior scenes that require no set decoration that feature actors talking. On these days, responsibilities would mainly involve coordinating wardrobe with cast and having props available as needed. The film has roughly 3-4 interior locations across the shoot that would require more traditional production design work (dressing rooms, helping establish lived-in environments, sourcing decor/details, etc.).
