🗓️ When: Flexible
💵 Compensation: TBD
👥 Applicants: 19
🏷️ Category: Creators / UGC
A small independent feature film shooting in the Flatiron/Chelsea area this fall is looking to fill one more key crew spot: First AD.
The project is a quiet, character-driven psychological drama — small cast, a handful of locations, and a tight 5-6 day shoot. Think restrained and atmospheric rather than big and flashy, so the right person should be comfortable with a slower, more deliberate pace on set.
This role is best suited to someone currently working as a Key PA or 2nd AD who's ready to take the next step up. For this particular role, the production is looking specifically for a woman, to fit the budget and crew already in place.
Budget is modest, so pay is on the lean side, but the team is committed to doing this project the right way with people who genuinely connect to the material.
If you're interested, please send:
- Your résumé, credits, and reel or website (if you have one)
- Your availability for mid-September
- The general rate you'd be looking for
Thanks for considering it!

Need one person — any gender — for a short improv-style scene being filmed for a social media project in Manhattan this week.

A family in Westchester County needs a live-in companion for the month of September to look after an elderly relative while they travel.
You'd move into a guest room for the month (free room and board included, plus salary) and help with daily things — driving him to church and outings, light cooking, medication reminders, and checking in with the family on how he's doing each day. There's a housekeeper who comes weekly, so cleaning isn't part of this. A car and gas are provided for the driving portion.
This is a great fit for a student, recent grad, or working professional with some flexible time, and Certified Home Health Aides are welcome to apply too. Non-smokers only, and you'll need a clean driving record. If September goes well, there's potential for this to continue on and off afterward.

Some fighting ability is a plus, or a willingness to learn — there will be fairly involved action scenes. Acting experience helps but isn't a strict requirement if you think you can bring the right presence.
Filming runs from July through September, based around Downtown Manhattan. A demo reel will be provided afterward.

- Keeping cases and cables organized so nothing goes missing between jobs
- Helping move props, backdrops, and stands around set
- Keeping the shooting area tidy while we work

A production is looking for people with a Mexican Spanish accent to record voice samples for an AI voice project. This pays $6,300.
Casting across a few age groups (any gender within each): 18-25, 35-60, and 60-80.
Important to know upfront: this involves your voice being processed and cloned by AI software, and it's a full buyout — meaning there's no end date on how the recording can be used, and no ongoing residual payments after the one-time fee.
You don't need acting experience, but you do need to read a long, non-narrative script clearly and naturally in Spanish. You'll first record a short phone audition. The actual session happens in the Flatiron area of Manhattan on a date in August — plan to hold the whole day open for scheduling, though the recording itself is about a half day.

Hey there — I'm putting together a 6-episode comedy web series made for phone-first viewing (think quick clips, not a full-length show), and I need a New York City-based writer to help turn some rough ideas into real scripts.
Each episode runs about 1-2 minutes, so the writing needs to hook people fast, move quickly, and end on something that makes them want to tap the next one. The humor should feel like real NYC — jokes, situations, and references a local would immediately recognize.
To be considered, please send:
• A few writing samples (scripts, scenes, produced videos — anything showing comedy or short-form storytelling)
• Your portfolio or resume
• Your rate/quote for the project
• The best way to reach you
Looking to bring someone on board quickly. Thanks for reading!

An event production company based in Jamaica, Queens is looking for a dependable, organized person to help with logistics on a per diem, on-call basis. Work comes in as events get booked, so hours vary week to week — you'd get a schedule ahead of time with pickup/delivery details.
The job covers picking up and returning rental décor, furniture, and event supplies around NYC; driving cargo vans (company account or your own if you have one); loading/unloading; organizing the storage units; running vendor errands; and helping prep and break down inventory after events. Some evenings, weekends, and occasional late-night pickups are part of the mix.
Pay is $27-30/hour with a 4-hour minimum per scheduled shift, and there's room for more hours helping with event setup/breakdown.
What you'll need:
- Valid driver's license, clean driving record
- Able to pass a background check
- Comfortable lifting 50+ lbs
- Reliable and organized
- OK with a flexible schedule including some nights/weekends
Experience with cargo vans, moving, warehouse work, or events is a plus but not required.

There is a regular cleaner in place already, but a backup is needed for the days they cannot make it or when there is travel. Visits are usually short — about 1 to 3 hours of work — and all cleaning supplies are provided.
This suits someone already based in or around north Brooklyn, since it works best when the trip over is a short one.
Pay has been running around $20/hour (Venmo or CashApp), with room to discuss more depending on experience.
If you are interested, send over:
- A phone number and email so you can be reached when coverage comes up
- Your hourly rate
- Roughly how long your trip over would be
- A reference, if you have one
These posts tend to pull a lot of replies, so whoever answers with all of the above gets looked at first.

Looking for experienced food and event help for a large backyard BBQ in downtown Brooklyn on September 6. The gathering will have close to 100 guests, so this could be a good fit for one highly capable person, a helper duo, a personal chef, or a small catering team.
The work will include preparing a selection of fun sides and desserts, arranging the food stations, keeping everything organized and replenished throughout the event, and helping with cleanup afterward.
Food preparation will take place on September 5, either at the event location or offsite, depending on what works best for you. You must be available for both the prep day and the event on September 6.

An experienced lash artist working out of a Manhattan studio is building a summer portfolio and looking for a few models. Read the details first — this is a trade arrangement, not a paid gig.
Three looks are available, each with its own contribution toward materials:
1. Korean lash lift and tint — naturally long lashes needed for this one. $50 toward materials.
2. Brow lamination, shaping and tint — $70.
3. Mega volume lash set, full doll-eye style — a 3-hour appointment for a set that normally runs several hundred dollars. Your natural lashes need to curl upward rather than down so the result photographs well. $100.
In exchange, before and after photos and video will be taken of you, and an honest online review afterwards is appreciated. Refer a friend and you get a discount next time.
Worth knowing before you apply: appointments run 2 to 3 hours depending on the service, so you need to be comfortable sitting still that long. Sensitive eyes or eyes that tear easily can make this uncomfortable. Come with clean brushed hair and a bit of makeup on.
To apply, reply with a clear photo of your face — without one there will not be a reply. Spots fill quickly.

We're putting together a beauty content shoot in Midtown East and looking for a handful of models to work alongside beauty students as they build out their portfolios — think makeup, skincare, and hair content shot for short video and photo.

Sessions run about 4 hours on either Monday 8/3 or Tuesday 8/4, 12–4pm, in Midtown East. Everyone who books gets a $100 stipend, paid same-day via Zelle. Open to all genders.

A residential appliance-repair company is expanding its network of independent technicians for service calls across Brooklyn, Queens, and the surrounding NYC area.
The work covers refrigerators (non-sealed-system), washers/dryers, dishwashers, ovens/ranges/cooktops, microwaves, and other major household appliances — techs experienced with one or more of these are welcome.
What's needed:
• Diagnostic and repair experience with residential appliances
• Your own tools and a way to get to jobs
• General Liability insurance (able to provide a COI)
• Ability to document jobs with diagnostic reports and photos
