About Field Producers

Assignment Desk provides experienced Field Producers who manage everything from directing talent and overseeing shot lists to coordinating with the client, crew, and post-production team. They serve as the bridge between your creative vision and the on-the-ground reality of the shoot. Our Field Producers bring strong editorial instincts and production management skills to every assignment. They handle pre-production planning, talent coordination, location scouting logistics, and real-time decision-making when conditions change on set. Whether your project is a branded content series, a documentary shoot, a corporate testimonial day, or a multi-location production, a Field Producer keeps everything organized and on message.
