The role of the AD
Presenter: Sophie Walcott
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
Time: 3.15pm – 4.45pm
Venue: LofTT
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.
This event is available only to Industry Pass and Ticket holders.
