Gaffer for Sci-Fi Pilot, NYC

Seeking a talented Gaffer for an exciting sci-fi drama pilot shooting in Brooklyn, NY. This is a unique opportunity to shape the visual tone of an independent production. We're looking for someone with a strong eye for atmospheric lighting and a collaborative spirit. The story explores themes of memory and reality in a near-future setting, requiring a nuanced approach to lighting to build suspense and character depth. We're offering an equity partnership in the project, so you'll have a direct stake in its success. Anticipate shoot days in late October or early November 2026, over a 2-3 day period. We'll provide a small lighting package and basic grip gear, but we're keen to work with someone who can supplement with their own specialized equipment or has access to additional rentals. Key responsibilities include collaborating closely with the DP to execute their vision, managing on-set power, and ensuring safe and efficient rigging. Please share your reel or a portfolio of your gaffing work. We're open to all experience levels, from seasoned pros to up-and-coming talent ready to make their mark on a compelling project.
