$1,000 - $1,500 per dayBlockReel
A man grapples with fragmented memories of a past relationship, brought to life by hauntingly beautiful light. We're seeking a skilled Gaffer for a visually driven independent short film shooting in Austin, TX. This is a mid-level position for an upcoming project led by a passionate team. You'll be responsible for executing the Director of Photography's lighting plan, managing our small lighting team, and ensuring all electrical equipment is safely and effectively deployed. We need someone who can work creatively within a constrained budget, has experience with various lighting instruments (LED, HMI, tungsten), and can problem-solve on the fly. Please submit your reel or portfolio showcasing relevant work. Practical details: We anticipate a 3-4 day shoot around November 16, 2026, with an additional 1-2 prep days. Days will be 10-12 hours. We will provide all necessary production insurance and a small grip package, but you should have access to a basic kit and power distribution. Lunch and craft services will be provided daily. This is a paid position, offering $1000-1500 per day depending on experience and equipment contribution.
