I play a crucial role in the successful execution of a film, working closely with the director to ensure that the vision of the project is brought to life on screen. As 1st assistant director I’m responsible for coordinating and managing the day-to-day operations on set, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and according to schedule. I work closely with the production team to make sure that all necessary resources are in place, including equipment, props, and cast members. I also help to oversee the budget and keep track of expenses, making sure that the film stays within budgetary constraints. In addition to logistical responsibilities, As 1st assistant director I play a key role in working with the actors. I help to facilitate communication between the director and the cast, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal. I also assist in directing background actors, coordinating stunts or special effects, and managing crowd scenes. My most important qualities as a successful 1st assistant director is the ability to think quickly on my feet and problem solve in high-pressure situations. I am able to anticipate potential issues and come up with solutions on the fly, keeping the production moving forward without any major setbacks. I am also highly organised and detail-oriented, even small mistakes can have a significant impact on the final vision. Overall, as the 1st assistant director I ensure the success of your film in the UAE. My dedication, creativity, and attention to detail help to ensure that every aspect of the production is executed flawlessly, resulting in a final product that is both visually stunning and emotionally impactful. I have also worked as a freelance 2nd assistant director, production manager, line producer end events producer for various companies. Call Rostislav Samec Assistant Director Dubai UAE
