Apply to this Gaffer Job

Hello,

We are producing a soap opera on a micro-budget and are looking for a gaffer with a small kit to come onboard for about 15 days of shooting between October 2nd and October 20th.

The rate we can afford is $3500 for labor and the kit. We understand this is very discounted rate and we aren't going to sugarcoat but it is what we have to work with. Our entire team is sacrificing for this with the knowledge that this should lead to additional commissions with real budgets.

If you are interested, please send us your resume and a cover letter to tell us a little bit about yourself.

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,

Chris
