To succeed as a Film Transportation Coordinator, you need a solid understanding of logistics, scheduling, and safe vehicle operation, often supported by a valid commercial driver’s license and experience in the film industry. Familiarity with transport management software, call sheet systems, and DOT compliance regulations is typically required. Outstanding organizational skills, attention to detail, and clear communication help ensure smooth coordination with crew and tight production timelines. These abilities are crucial for maintaining efficiency, safety, and reliability in fast-paced film production environments.

Keep one foot in the craft while shaping the next generation of filmmakers.

  • Teach two 90-minute film classes a week, partnered with a co-mentor

  • Guide students through the full filmmaking process, writing, shooting, and editing, to produce a finished short film

  • Teach from our ready-made, rigorous curriculum (no lesson planning from scratch)

  • Help young people find their voice and discover a path into film

  • Flexible hours (avg. 7-14/week) that work around production schedules and freelance gigs

  • $31.80/hour, plus paid preparation time and paid training

  • Mileage reimbursed for any travel

  • Stay creatively engaged between projects, and give back to your community

What you’ll need

  • 3+ years working in the film industry, as a director, producer, or in any below-the-line role

  • Strong skills in at least one area of filmmaking

  • Enough editing ability to cut simple short content (DaVinci Resolve a plus)

  • Comfortable and confident working with kids in a school setting

  • Valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and reliable transportation (some travel up to 50 miles; mileage reimbursed). Comfortable using Google Workspace.

Nice to have (not required)

  • Film degree or film-school background

  • Previous teaching or mentoring experience

  • Knowledge of camera, audio, and G&E equipment; film story structure

  • Experience with Frame.io and Dropbox
