Job Position(s): Virginia Beach – Rush call for Production Assistants for Drone light show – 9/27/25 – Paid

Virginia Film Office is putting out a rush call for Production Assistants in Virginia Beach for a drone light show event on September 27, 2025. This is a live event production role supporting the ground crew and coordination teams executing a large-scale aerial drone performance, which sits at the intersection of live event production and film industry logistics. The role suits early-career crew members or working PAs who are comfortable in outdoor, event-based production environments and can turn around on short notice.

About the Role

Production Assistants on this call will be embedded in the on-site crew supporting the operational flow of a drone light show production in Virginia Beach. Live event production at this scale runs similarly to a film set in terms of department communication, staging, and crew coordination, so experience with production workflow translates directly. Expect a full day on your feet, working across departments as needs shift through setup, show, and wrap.

Key Responsibilities

• Support department leads with logistics, staging, and crew communication throughout the production day.
• Assist with equipment staging and clearance of the operational area prior to drone launch sequences.
• Relay information between departments to maintain show schedule and on-site production workflow.
• Monitor and manage foot traffic and crew positioning during active flight periods.
• Assist with wrap operations, including equipment inventory and strike of the production footprint.
• Respond to real-time direction from the production coordinator and department heads as conditions change.

What You Bring

• Prior experience as a PA on film, television, or live event productions is preferred.
• Comfort working in outdoor environments for extended periods across a full production day.
• Ability to take direction quickly and shift between tasks as production needs evolve on the day.
• Availability for the full date of September 27, 2025, with flexibility for call time and wrap.
• Reliable transportation to the Virginia Beach location.
