Gaffer & Key Grip Needed for One-Day Indie Short Film Shoot

What’s involved

An independent filmmaker is putting together crew for a one-day shoot on a narrative short film (10-15 minutes) filming in the Brooklyn area on October 24. Looking to fill two spots: Gaffer — works with the DP to execute the lighting plan, brings/operates lighting gear if you have it, and manages setups efficiently on a small set. Key Grip — manages grip equipment (stands, flags, diffusion, bounce, negative fill) and supports the DP/gaffer in building and adjusting lighting setups safely. Both roles need someone comfortable on a low-budget indie set who can work creatively within a tight budget. This is paid work — the exact rate gets worked out with whoever's selected. If you're interested, email with your name, which role you're going for, relevant experience, your day rate, and what equipment you have access to. A reel, portfolio, or Instagram link is welcome too. Mention code SOUTHBROOKLYNFILMCREW when you write in.
