Crew hire
Best boy for hire in the UK
The best boy is the gaffer's or key grip's second — running the crew, the truck and the gear so lighting and grip keep pace with the shoot.
Crew is the newest part of Picturental and still small. Post the role, your postcode and your rate — members within 30km get pinged, and the first to accept takes the job.
