Job Description

Take One Film Support is looking to employ hard-working, trust-worthy, motivated and reliable individuals who are looking to join the TV and Film Industry as Location Support Personnel. Applicants must be observant and alert, and preference will be given to those with access to cars. Cell phones are a necessity for this job.

Since 2003, Take One Film Support has been one of the leading LSP companies in the Toronto (and Hamilton) TV & Film industry. We are looking for serious individuals looking to work in legitimate Hollywood projects, under the umbrella of the DGC (Director’s Guild of Canada), thus ensuring your rights as a film industry worker are always respected.

Your responsibilities would include, but would not be necessarily limited to:

-Being alert at all times (whether you choose to work a day, or night shift).

-Being punctual and responsible.

-Maintain a polite, personable attitude, and good working relationship with the film crew at all times.

-Staying at your assigned post, guarding film equipment, sets, trailers, etc.

-Keeping the Location Manager or Assistant Location Managers informed of situations that may arise during your shift.

-Securing and maintaining parking for film crew and trucks.

-Passive crowd control + maintaining a positive presence with the public.

-Deterring civilians from wandering on to the film set, or getting in the film crew’s way—for their own safety.

-Assisting police officers in barricading controlled public roads.

-Setting up and pulling down lunch rooms for the crew.

-Posting flyers, and delivering letters informing an area of an upcoming shoot.

Things you are NOT to do:

-Please refrain from taking pictures or recording video of anything or anyone on the set.

-Please do not be intoxicated in any way during your shift.

-Please do not leave your post without informing anyone at any time.

Perks from working in film:

-Learning the practical, behind the scenes preparation of a big budget film (or show) location shoot.

-Access to the craft truck for coffee and snacks.

-Meals when the crew eats, or a $15 meal allowance will be added to your pay for that day when access to crew food isn’t available.

-Seeing celebrities work.

-Watching live stunts, explosions, special FX, and seeing behind the scenes action of blockbusters come.

As professional film budgets work on a tier-based system, the pay ranges from $16.68 to $18.09, and there is also the possibility of making a good amount more if you hit overtime. The average shift is about 12 hours long, and both day and night shifts are available.

If you, or anyone you know is interested in this opportunity, please send us an e-mail to takeonejobs@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and watching you grow in the film industry!
