Gaffer (Feature Film)

$250 per day

BlockReel

Our upcoming feature film, an indie drama with psychological thriller elements, explores themes of memory and identity through a visually evocative lens. We're looking for a talented Gaffer to help us craft a moody, atmospheric look with impactful lighting. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves creative problem-solving and wants to contribute significantly to a compelling narrative. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the lighting plan in collaboration with the DP, managing the grip and electric crew, and ensuring all lighting equipment is used safely and effectively. We're open to all experience levels; your reel or portfolio of past work is more important than years in the industry. Please have experience with various lighting setups, power distribution, and safety protocols. We'll be shooting in Los Angeles, CA. Production will involve about 15-20 shoot days, with principal photography expected to begin around November 18, 2026. Days will be 10-12 hours. We provide all necessary lighting and grip gear, crew support, and craft services. Compensation is $250/day flat. Budget Range $250/day flat #J-18808-Ljbffr BlockReel
