Associate Producer - a magic term. Could mean I keep the whole show running. Could mean I did the Executive Producer a single favor once. Could even mean I just donated $100 for the title. What a beautifully non-specific title. In this case, it means I do travel coordination (flights + hotels) for cast, crew, and guests. Plus regular PA duties. Joe Bob prefers the green Nespresso pods with the foam skimmed off

This gig was kind of wild to be honest. Real estate agents flew in from all over the country so they could film spots with Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank for commercials for their local markets. We filmed the same thing over and over, a different agent each time. As for me, I drove all over the city doing pick-ups and drop-offs (CC Rental, Wit's End, Acme, you get the idea). The actual shoot day was just a bunch of schleppin' through a hotel. I did get Barbara Corcoran a milkshake, which was second only to the time I had to get a cheeseburger and Diet Coke for Lisa Lampanelli.

TBH this was a small well-oiled crew from Atlanta so they took it very easy on the PAs. I packed some "adventure bags" for the kids and did some light AC/G&E work as well as some boom op-ing. I'm talking battery swaps and setting up a few lights, ok? Nothing crazy, plus it was non-union. Mostly I schlepped gear. The hardest part of the job was getting from Brooklyn to Harlem early Saturday morning while the L was down for track maintenance but that's life in the big city
