Matthew Martens

Handled extras casting, on-set background wrangling, and other on-set PA duties.

Shuttled crew and handled general PA duties on set.

Handled all background, led the small team of Production Assistants, and covered general PA duties.

I was in charge of all on-set paperwork, outside of creating the call sheets. I tracked crew and cast hours, filled and handled the production reports, and assisted the 1AD with background action.

I helped with production in Arkansas along the A&M train line as well as fulfilled some pre-production duties with the Producers. Primarily, I directed background action and assisted in all train movement action.

On top of standard Production Assistant duties, I was in charge of all paperwork for the 40+ stunt football players. This paperwork included tracking attendance for payroll, assisting the UPM in finding housing, and catering football practices prior to shooting. All inquiries regarding football players were directed through me.
