Film / TV Production Assistant

Film and TV production assistants support all departments on film and television sets — running errands, managing paperwork, coordinating logistics, and learning production roles from the ground up. Florida's expanding production market — anchored by Universal and Disney productions, a growing streaming presence, and the state's $1B+ film incentive program discussions — creates year-round PA opportunities particularly in Orlando and Miami.
