As a FILM PRODUCER, hiring the best crew is a blend of art and science. It’s not just about finding the most talented individuals, but about assembling a team that can work seamlessly together, understand the creative vision, and navigate the inevitable challenges that come with production. Here’s what I’ve learned: 1. Experience Matters: Look for crew members with a proven track record, but don’t discount emerging talent. Fresh perspectives can bring new energy to a project. 2. Cultural Fit: Your crew should align with the project’s vision and the working culture. A shared sense of purpose drives better collaboration and creativity. 3. Passion Over Paycheck: Those who are truly passionate about their craft will go the extra mile. They’re the ones who will stay late, push through challenges, and contribute beyond their job description. 4. Communication Skills: A great crew doesn’t just follow instructions—they bring ideas to the table. Effective communication is key to ensuring everyone is on the same page and working toward the same goal. 5. Network Smartly: Build relationships within the industry. Often, the best crew members come through referrals from trusted colleagues. 6. Trust Your Instincts: Sometimes, it’s about gut feeling. If someone feels like the right fit, they probably are. Producing a film is a team effort, and the crew you hire can make or break your project. Choose wisely, and you’ll create something truly special.

Chances are you are hiring production professionals who are faking it. This is just facts. Most up and coming in the regional markets weren't trained, weren't brought up on set, or in a production office. Production isn't easy... well unless your creative is weak and you have a big budget, then its impossible not to screw it up. And many have figured out, hire a good DP, say yes to everything and "you too can be an exec producer or even a director!" I'll leave you with this. In Wherespot FB group this past week this was a post: A client wants to hire me to produce a few commercial spots in Houston. The project requires Talent, Director, DP, key grip with gear, and multiple locations, so maybe a location scout. So my question is, what is the person called to put all these pieces together? Would that be the Production Manager? I am looking for a person in Houston who can help me put all these assets together and give me price points for these individuals. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Sigh... this was not satire. This person was being hired to "produce" for a client, and literally asked for help "producing" the job without knowing what he was being asked to do or how.

#wouldyouratherwednesday Team builders. Which person would you rather hire: Person A: 20% chance of being a 10X producer, 80% chance of failing and having to be let go w/in 3 months, 0% chance of being an average producer. Person B: 80% chance of being an average producer, 20% chance of failing and having to be let go w/in 3 months, 0% chance of being a 10X producer. As always, please show your work in the comments.

Climbing the Ladder to Post-Production Supervision: A Lighthearted Guide So, you want to become a Post-Production Supervisor? Think of it as climbing a very tall, slightly wobbly ladder with a view that gets better the higher you go. Here’s how you can make it to the top without losing your balance: Start at the Base: Most of us begin as Post-Production Assistants (a.k.a. the unsung heroes who keep everything running). Here, you’ll learn the ropes, make friends with editors, and figure out how to navigate the chaos. Take a Step Up: From Assistant, you might move to Post Coordinator. Now you’re coordinating schedules, managing workflows, and beginning to see the big picture. Think of it as herding cats but with more tech jargon. Climb Higher: Eventually, with enough experience (and coffee), you’ll work your way up to Post Supervisor. This is where you get to oversee the entire post process—from editing and VFX to sound and color grading. You’re the captain now, steering the ship through tight deadlines, budget seas, and creative storms! The key? Gain experience in different areas of post, stay curious, and always be ready to learn. Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride! #PostProduction #CareerGrowth #PostSupervisor #ClimbingTheLadder

?? The Silent Warriors of Post Production: Why You Need a Supervisor! ??? One of the quirkiest truths about being a Post Production Supervisor is this: if everything is running smoothly, it’s like you’re a ghost in the edit suite—unseen and underappreciated! People often forget they need you until the moment chaos strikes. That’s right; if you’re not swooping in to save the day, suddenly you’re at risk of being deemed “unnecessary.” I get it; it can be exhausting justifying your presence on productions. But let’s be real: while you may not hear the applause when everything is functioning like a well-oiled machine, it’s all the behind-the-scenes work, planning, and crisis management that ensure things stay on track. Then, one fateful day, everything hits the fan—suddenly, all those hours spent navigating potential pitfalls come rushing back. It's in those frantic moments that it dawns on everyone just how valuable you are! Suddenly, my presence feels less like a “nice to have” and more like “worth our weight in gold!” ?? So here’s a thought: let’s just assume that we know what we’re doing, and skip that whole “do we really need a Supervisor?” phase. Trust that while we may not always be in the spotlight, our expertise keeps the production wheel turning smoothly. To all my fellow Post Production Supervisors out there—keep battling the good fight! Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, even if sometimes it feels that way. What are your experiences with being the unsung hero?
