Linkedin has to do a search and define some terms. I have an alert for film director and art director jobs. What does Linkedin do? send me an uninterrupted flow of jobs as "director of personnel, "section director" "sales director" and similar useless leads. Is it "too freaking difficult" to define what we film/stage directors DO? We don't throw away the time in corporate meetings, that is for sure. Would like useful links, not corporate anythings.

You Better Recognize! A talented supervisor or manager is astute enough to understand that an employee is not defined by his or her job title/description. I once worked at a film production company where I was promoted three times in six months. I started out answering phones and making coffee and was soon the Visual Effects Coordinator for the biggest budget IMAX film to that date. Why? Because the producer (who went on to found RealD 3-D) could see that my skills of working hard, doing things quickly and always saying ‘yes’ to what I was asked would translate into the 60+ hours per week on a film set. How could a ‘receptionist’ become an integral part of a multi-million dollar production? How could a production assistant for a home shopping network become the Operations Director of the network in less than a year? Yep… same guy. Thanks to supervisors, managers, executives and corporate presidents who could all assess talent and not be confined by a title. So, hiring managers… take a closer look at that resume from the person that doesn’t have the exact qualifications or job title you’re looking for. Dig deeper. Look for qualities, talents and skills rather than a direct 1:1 correlation. A more well-rounded candidate might just be available.

Boring, but important stuff a producer does….extending talent contracts. And totally necessary, too. Extending contracts usually happens when a client wants to re-up their advertising spend for a longer time than agreed upon originally with the talent. This means the ad is performing well. If you’re looking for a production team to help with boring, but important jobs like: ➡️ Anticipate and plan for potential challenges ➡️ Ensure compliance with safety protocols and regulations ➡️ Negotiate favorable contracts with locations, talent, and crew Then shoot us a DM! #videoproduction #adspend #behindthescenes #talentcontracts #producerlife #advertising #brandedcontent
