About Field Producers

A Field Producer is the on-site creative and logistical leader who ensures your production runs smoothly from setup through wrap. 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. Assignment Desk Field Producers are available in all 24 markets and can travel nationwide for multi-day productions. As W2 employees, they are covered by workers' compensation and liability insurance, giving you full protection on every shoot.
