About Early Media

Early Media is creating and distributing groundbreaking original series. We craft narratives with viral potential while preserving the heart of indie production, telling meaningful stories audiences actually care about. Every creative decision is sharpened by a proprietary testing and marketing engine that collapses the distance between filmmaker and audience into the tightest iteration loop in the industry.

We're hiring a Production Coordinator (Contractor) to be the logistical engine behind our Producers. You run the production office and the field logistics that make a shoot happen, jumping from project to project so the creatives can stay locked on the story. When there's a gap between the vision and the reality of pulling it off, you close it before anyone feels it.

What you'll own

  • Travel and movement for cast and crew: flights, hotels, ground transport, per diems, and call sheets that get everyone to the right place on time

  • Onsite logistics that keep the shoot day running: crew meals and craft services, gear and equipment coordination, location access, and the run of show from call to wrap

  • The production paperwork that keeps a shoot legitimate and buttoned up: permits, releases, vendor invoices, petty cash and expense tracking, and location agreements

Must-haves

  • Wired for logistics. You spot the gaps before they open and quietly close them, and a loose end nags at you until it's tied off.

  • Production coordination experience or a comparable role juggling travel, vendors, budgets, and a dozen moving parts at once

  • Grace under fire in the field, rebooking a flight, resourcing a location, or fixing a catering fall-through without dropping anything else

Nice to Have

  • YouTube experience is a major plus, along with experience on unscripted or documentary field productions where schedules shift constantly and success depends on adapting as the day unfolds.

  • A working vendor, crew, and location Rolodex you can activate fast

  • Fluency in the tools of the trade: call sheets, production schedules, budget tracking, and scheduling or project management software
