Assistant directors Niyati Patege, Cameron O'Neill, and Jane Melynn Chapman educate us about what an AD's job actually is, how many extra tasks they bravely juggle during pre-production that aren't even their tasks, and how to truly schedule a set to keep production from falling apart. Are you a freshman starting your film degree? A cinephile who wants to learn the ins and outs of starting a film career? Or are you just a little bored for real? Tune into the Second Draft Podcast, hosted by Justin K. Lynch and co-hosted by Vete Derisse, where we interview different up-and-coming filmmakers on their way to bigger projects, and listen to advice they have for people just like them.
