Production Supervisor

Film2Future is a Los Angeles nonprofit working to change the face of Hollywood by giving underserved LA-based teenagers access to professional-level filmmaking programs and employment opportunities. During the intensive component of our 2022 Animation Program, students will hear from hundreds of speakers and mentors from across the film industry, developing their skills and readiness to work in the film industry. The Production Supervisor plays a critical role in the education and development of Film2Future’s emerging filmmakers, supporting students through the development and production phases as they create their short animatics.

The Production Supervisor is a short-term, part-time position from Tuesday, July 19th and Friday, July 29th. The project requires approximately 50-65 hours of work, which will take place primarily over Zoom and with 3 in-person days taking place in Los Angeles locations (mileage reimbursement provided).
