I am one of the leaders of the army that is a film or TV crew. I command with a walkie talkie and sometimes a megaphone. I make sure that everyone is where they are supposed to be, that people are fed and wrapped for the day when they are supposed to be, and that, in the best of times, come rain or shine, we get all of the shots we have scheduled for the day. I sometimes say “Action” and “Cut,” but I am not the director.

I am the Assistant Director, or AD.
