Heaven's Diner

Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).
I am looking for a Gaffer for June 10th and June 11th for my short film "Heaven's Diner."
Heaven’s Diner is run by women of color who have taken justice against harassers into their own hands. They hire Lilah to walk down NYC streets at night to scout and bring back male catcallers to the diner. The staff then work together to kill and butcher the men into burgers.
It is important to me to elevate women and non-binary people in filmmaking. As a result, people of color are encouraged to apply.
While I have a very small budget, it is important to me that I pay everyone on my crew.
Pay rate is negotiable and am open and flexible to talking about it!
