AD or PA to go into Director’s Assistant?
Hello everyone,
Would appreciate anyone’s thought of advice on this. This year, I have realized that I would like to transition to being a director’s assistant (not AD). I have experience in the AD department, I currently work as a floor/ set PA, but I’m still in the very early stages of my career. I was wondering what you guys think, does it make sense for me to continue to stay in the AD department and build more experience within that or should I be looking for Producer’s, Production Assistant/ Production office work, if I eventually want to be a directors assistant?
I know people who have gone from AD PA to DA, but I have heard that going from production work into that is possibly more feasible.
Any thoughts?? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Wishing you all a lovely day.
