No line producer has published a profile yet — the crew side is new. Post your request anyway: it pings everyone online nearby, and if you work as a line producer, set up your profile to be the first listed.
What a line producer does on a shoot
- Builds and runs the budget line by line and keeps spend honest against it.
- Schedules the shoot and crews it up — rates, deals, bookings and call sheets.
- Handles the paperwork nobody else wants: insurance, permits, releases, cost reports.
How hiring a line producer works
- 1
Post the role
Say you need a line producer, where the shoot is, the dates and the rate you're offering.
- 2
The nearest is asked first
The closest line producer gets it alone, and it widens to the next nearest every 60 seconds until someone accepts.
- 3
First to accept takes it
The job locks to them, you swap details, and you rate each other afterwards.
Hiring a line producer
- Do I need a line producer and a production manager?
- On a bigger job, yes: the line producer owns the budget, the production manager runs the office and the logistics. On a small shoot one person covers both.
- When should a line producer start?
- Before the budget is fixed. Bringing one in after the money is committed means they can only report the problem, not prevent it — say how much prep time there is.
