Lighting Feature Film

A coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of competitive sailing seeks a seasoned Gaffer. This independent production offers a visually rich and emotionally resonant narrative, focusing on resilience and ambition in a high-stakes environment. We are looking for a senior lighting professional to help define the aesthetic of our upcoming project. Your key responsibilities will include collaborating closely with the Director of Photography, managing the lighting crew, executing complex lighting setups, and ensuring technical and creative excellence in line with the film's tone.

We require extensive experience on feature films, a strong portfolio showcasing your work (reel or online gallery), and a deep understanding of various lighting techniques and equipment. Ownership of a basic lighting kit, including various fixtures and control, is a plus, though a substantial portion of specialized gear will be rented. The main shoot is scheduled for the first half of December 2026, with an estimated prep period of about one week prior.

This is a full-time commitment during the shooting block, typically 12-hour days. Compensation is competitive at $ per day. Meals and local transportation during shooting days will be provided. Join our dedicated crew in Atlanta, GA.
