Entry Level Production Assistant

Mark Rink is hiring an Entry Level Production Assistant based in Cincinnati, OH. This role sits at the operational core of the production team, supporting everything from equipment prep and location logistics to call sheet coordination across active marketing and branded content productions. It suits someone early in their production career who wants real floor experience rather than another internship making coffee runs.

About the Role

The Entry Level Production Assistant works across departments to keep day-to-day production workflow moving, from pre-production prep through wrap. At Mark Rink, that means supporting branded content and commercial production projects, working alongside experienced crew members who can show you how a real set operates. A typical day might involve pulling together call sheets in the morning, running materials between departments during the shoot, and helping with equipment breakdown at the end of a long production day.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with the setup and breakdown of camera, lighting, and grip equipment before and after each production day.
• Coordinate and distribute call sheets and production schedules, keeping all departments aligned on timing and logistics.
• Support interdepartmental communication during shoot days to ensure production workflow stays on track.
• Manage inventory of production materials and supplies, tracking what goes out and what comes back in after each shoot.
• Assist with location scouting and site preparation, including assessing locations for practical and logistical production requirements.
• Serve as a general support resource for production staff across commercial and branded content shoots from pre-production through wrap.

What You Bring

• A high school diploma or equivalent is required, and coursework or a degree in film, media production, or a related field is a plus.
• Some familiarity with production scheduling tools or call sheet formats, even from student film or independent production experience.
• Strong organizational habits and the ability to track multiple moving parts across a production day without dropping the ball.
• Availability for flexible hours, including early calls, nights, and weekend shoots as the production schedule demands.
• A genuine willingness to take initiative on set rather than waiting to be told what to do next.

Why This Role

Mark Rink works across a range of branded content and commercial production projects, giving an entry level production assistant exposure to different production types and client-facing work from day one. The company offers mentorship from working professionals and real opportunities to move up as you build your credit list. This is a staff position with a competitive salary package and a genuine path toward career advancement in production.
