Need A2 to come be a part of our merry band of travelers bringing a new show for Discovery to town. Think American Pickers or Antique Roadshow in terms of the style and logistics we will be dealing with. We'll be tied to the filming locations (the homes) without any real company moves once we get rolling. Celebrity talent, show for Discovery/Max that will get exposure.

ISO people experienced with on-set protocol and communication, can-do attitude and comfortability in fast-paced shooting environments. Your job should be solely supporting Audio Sup with the basics - boom and batteries. Tons of sitting around time - it's just a hurry up and wait game - you know the drill. Please include a little about the energy you bring to a job like this and an example or two of some busier shoots you've been on!

This is the season finale and throughout the show so far the A2 position has never seen any OT and never been working before sunrise or after sunset. A light gig by any measure.

Thanks!
