Crew — CHOSEN | Now Hiring Production Assistants

The Role

Production Assistant (Set PA)

We're hiring two paid Production Assistants, with the possibility of a third, for the Chosen shoot on Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11, 2026, in Columbus. These are long, full days, roughly 11 to 12 hours each, and both days are required. There may also be a short prep day before the shoot, to be confirmed. A PA is the backbone of a smooth set: the person who keeps things moving, keeps everyone supported, and helps the day run on time. Here's what you'd be doing.

Set up and wrap

Help set up at the top of each day and break down at the end. First energy in, steady energy out.

Support the team

Assist the director, assistant director, and department heads with whatever the moment needs.

Move with the crew

Help stage and move gear alongside the camera, grip, and lighting teams. Careful hands, quick feet.

Keep the set running

Hold for quiet, keep the space clean and organized, and help cast and crew find what they need.

Runs and logistics

Handle errands, pickups, and small tasks so the shoot never has to stop and wait.

Craft services

Help keep the team fed, hydrated, and taken care of across the long day.

Cast and paperwork

Help wrangle cast, releases, and the little details that keep a set organized.

Behind the scenes (a plus)

If you can also grab behind-the-scenes photos or short clips for our Making Chosen series, even better.

The Non-Negotiables

You must be 18 or older, available both full days (October 10 and 11), and dependable. On a shoot this size, one person not showing up changes everyone's day, so reliability is the whole job.

Who We're Looking For

The right fit

Dependable and punctual. This is the number one thing. If you say you'll be there, you're there.
Professional and easy to work with. Calm and positive across a long day.
Takes direction well. Flexible when plans shift, and they will shift.
Ready to move. On your feet most of the day, with some light lifting.
Reliable transportation. To set and around Columbus as needed.
Experience is a plus, not a requirement. Film, events, hospitality, or none yet. Attitude and reliability come first.

How to Apply

Send us a quick email

No formal application, no portal. Just email the details below and I'll be reviewing every message personally and reaching out to set up a short conversation.

A short note or bio. Who you are, why you want to be on set, and any experience or skills that show you're dependable and good with people.
Your resume, if you have one. Helpful, but not required.
Confirm the essentials. That you're 18 or older and available both full days, October 10 and 11.
