Hiring guide
Hiring assistant directors for production coordination
Use assistant director profiles to judge scheduling discipline, set coordination, and practical execution support.
What assistant directors manage
- Call sheets, shoot flow, set discipline, artist movement, continuity support, and coordination between departments.
- Day-to-day execution so directors, producers, cast, and crew stay aligned during production.
When to hire
- For shoots with multiple locations, cast members, departments, tight timelines, or detailed scene coverage.
- When the production needs someone to track readiness, communicate changes, and keep the floor moving.
How to evaluate
- Look for experience with similar production scale: ad film, short film, feature, series, event, or branded shoot.
- Ask how they handle delays, last-minute changes, crowd movement, paperwork, and department follow-ups.
Evaluation tips
- Check whether they can prepare and manage call sheets, breakdowns, and daily coordination notes.
- Look for calm communication, punctuality, and comfort working across direction, production, art, costume, and camera teams.
- For bigger shoots, confirm whether they have first AD, second AD, or floor coordination experience.
Questions to ask
- What kind of shoot schedules have you managed before?
- How do you communicate changes to cast and crew during a shoot day?
- Which production documents or coordination tools do you usually prepare?
