SEEKING FIELD PRODUCER FOR AI TRADE SHOW
I’m looking for a solid field producer in Las Vegas. I don’t need someone super seasoned, but some doc experience required. There will be a lot of interfacing with show attendees, convincing people to spend time with us, wrangling releases, lugging a tripod, ordering meals, keeping track of our shoot wishlists as we go. It’s a tiny crew, just me (shooting/directing), a local sound recordist, and said field producer. Rate isn’t great, as I’m mostly funding this with a Guggenheim Fellowship and some grants from Temple (and most of that is gone), so probably in the range of 350/day plus meals and parking. I know, not great…but it’s just super shoestring.

SEEKING CREW
I'm Dylan Hirsh, a video producer with WebMD/Medscape. I'm producing a shoot for our CME TV series. It involves a scripted doctor interview and B-roll at a Las Vegas hospital on August 21, with crew setup the evening before. I'm hoping to hire some of your recent grads rather than use a staffing agency.
Roles I'm looking to fill:
Director of Photography
3 camera operators
Gaffer
Sound engineer
Dedicated teleprompter operator
Makeup artist
Production assistant
This is professional, medical broadcast work, a solid reel credit, and a good way to work alongside an experienced crew.
Paid position; happy to discuss rate by role. Alumni local to Vegas are ideal, but I can also work with anyone willing to travel.
Would you be willing to pass this along to anyone who might be a fit? Happy to hop on a call if useful. You can reach me directly at [email protected].
