The Savannah Regional Film Commission recently completed another successful Production Assistant Bootcamp, bringing together aspiring film professionals from across the region for a weekend of hands-on training and industry education. Led by industry professionals Witt Lacy, Nora Clark, Ryan Watterson, and Anthony Peznola, the program provided participants with an introduction to the essential skills and responsibilities required on professional film and television productions. Topics included Production Assistant duties, set etiquette, lock-ups, resume development, networking, and insights into the current state of the industry. Beyond the technical training, the bootcamp offered participants an opportunity to build connections with fellow filmmakers and industry professionals while gaining a deeper understanding of career pathways within the production industry. The Savannah Regional Film Commission remains committed to workforce development and creating opportunities for local residents to enter and grow within the film industry. We are grateful to our instructors and participants for helping make this program such a success and look forward to continuing to support the next generation of film professionals in our region.
