A production assistant (PA) on a film set is an entry-level crew member who supports the production and keeps things running smoothly. Set PAs work under the guidance of assistant directors and interact with most departments on set, but there are also office, art, wardrobe, and post production PAs. Their responsibilities can include:

  • Assisting any department that requires additional help with loading and unloading, and setting up and tearing down

  • Assisting with paperwork, and going on runs for supplies and crew and cast meals

  • Handing out walkie talkies, keeping batteries charged, and keeping up with walkie inventory

  • Supporting the AD team, solving problems, taking great notes, and communicating with all departments

  • Handling petty cash, doing returns, and filling out milage and petty cash forms

  • Meeting the needs of all departments by providing customer service like support where needed
