SUMMARY:The role of the AD | Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Behind every director’s vision stands an Assistant Director (AD) – the person who keeps the production running so the director can stay focused on the story. This session explores the AD as the logistical backbone of filmmaking: the role responsible for holding hundreds of moving parts in alignment\, from scheduling and call sheets to on-set coordination and momentum. More than a support function\, it is the discipline that makes a set work. Through practical tools\, tips\, and techniques\, participants will gain insight into how ADs think\, plan\, and lead under pressure – and why the role demands both rigorous organisation and calm\, decisive communication. For emerging professionals\, the AD track offers more than a way onto set; it is a clear and sustainable gateway to a lasting career in film production.
