Miami-Dade’s Office of Film & Entertainment
Launches Production Assistant Sign-up Program

The Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources, Office of Film & Entertainment is launching an initiative that helps match entertainment productions to those interested in entry level Production Assistant (PA) positions.

A PA provides support to the rest of the crew on an entertainment production project. PAs work on movies, TV shows, commercials, music videos and other productions.  A PA may run errands, assist in the production office and purchase production supplies or perform ‘lockup’ so that pedestrians don’t walk onto the film set.

Graduates from local colleges and universities that offer film and entertainment programs are encouraged to participate, but anyone 18 years and older may sign up. PAs must be available full-time and need to have their own vehicle.

The Production Assistant Program will available beginning on October 5, 2015. Participants can may fill out the PA sign-up form online.  Once the form is completed, the information is entered into a database and made available to production companies looking to hire production assistants. However, there is no guarantee of employment.

This initiative is an effort to keep young talent in Miami-Dade County and grow the production base in the film and entertainment industry. To see what is going on locally in the film & entertainment industry check out FilMiami.
