Senior 1st AC (Camera Assistant), Short Drama

Hey filmmakers, I'm Rachel (a doc editor usually) and I'm looking for a skilled 1st AC for an upcoming dramatic short film in Brooklyn. This is a character-driven piece, a bit dark and atmospheric, exploring themes of memory and loss. We're aiming for a strong festival run. Your main responsibilities will be pulling critical focus and maintaining the camera package, working closely with our cinematographer. You'll need to have your own follow focus, monitor, and basic AC tools. We're looking for someone with solid experience on narrative shorts or features, a good eye for detail, and a calm presence on set. Please send over your resume and a reel or website demonstrating your previous work. We're tentatively planning for 3 shoot days in late August or early September, likely 10-12 hour days. Lunch and crafty will be provided, and we're paying $100-200/day depending on experience. This is an independent production with a passionate crew, so good vibes are essential.
