As South County Filmmakers goes forward through the stages of making our next movie there will arise a need for Production Assistants in various capacities. All of the “behind the scenes” work assures that a well thought out production is accomplished.

Since we film locally (in Rhode Island) it makes sense that our Production crew is within driving distance. Outlined below are the various Production Roles that are available. If any of these roles interest you, please reach out and CONTACT US at…… We will keep you updated with Schedules and Locations as we work through the process.
