TEAM ROLES

Why Roles?

We believe that a team is most effective when everyone on the team has a job to do. Film Production is a very involved process, so delegating parts of the work to each person allows for a team to complete their movie as smoothly as possible.

 

There will necessarily be times when the lines dividing these roles get blurred. If someone needs to act in the movie, or can’t make it to a filming day then team roles are flexible and people can step up as needed.

 

When joining Film Co-Op, you will be given the option to rank your top 3 preferred roles, and we will do our best to put you in a role you’re happy with!
