Blog: 'The Life of a Career Assistant Director'

Here's some good gyan on being an AD, who has an extremely critical role in the making of a film:

An interesting thing I have heard about Hollywood - AD owns the set. This means, in case of a major hassle, when you need to have someone leave the set - crew or cast, a director doesn't have the right to remove the person, it is the AD!

Typically, AD's position well respected and all departments look up to the person since he/she is the person who makes every thing happen.

It's a pretty powerful role, a challenging one and...crazy too - just check out the 'job description'. Most importantly, AD is the link between the producer and director.
