Production Assistants
Reliable PAs and runners keeping your Peruvian production running smoothly from Lima to Cusco.
Film production in Peru demands PAs who understand the local environment — from navigating Lima's production infrastructure to coordinating logistics in Cusco and beyond. Our production assistants know the vendors, the routes, and the protocols that keep Peruvian shoots running on schedule. They handle everything from distributing call sheets and managing equipment to coordinating extras and running errands across the country.
We connect you with dependable production assistants through NeedAFixer's Peru network. Our PAs bring hands-on experience from features, commercials, and series shot across Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and beyond. Each PA arrives ready to support your crew with local knowledge, professional discipline, and the energy that long shooting days demand.

PA Department Expertise
What do production assistants do on a Peruvian set?
PAs provide essential support across all aspects of production — from set lockups and talent escort to equipment handling and office administration. In Peru, they also help navigate local logistics, vendor relationships, and location-specific requirements that international crews may not be familiar with.
Do your PAs speak English?
Yes, we provide bilingual PAs fluent in both English and Spanish for international productions. They communicate effectively with your crew while navigating local vendors, authorities, and situations that require Spanish language skills.
What are typical working hours for PAs in Peru?
Shooting days in Peru run 12-14 hours without union restrictions, offering scheduling flexibility. Altitude in Cusco and mountain locations requires acclimatization planning. Amazon shoots need weather-adapted scheduling.
How quickly can you staff PAs?
For planned productions, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead. However, we maintain relationships with reliable PAs across Peru for last-minute needs and can often staff additional positions with 24-48 hours notice.
Do you provide overnight or weekend PAs?
Yes, we staff PAs for all schedules including overnight shoots, weekend work, and split days. Peruvian labor law requires employers to maintain an 80% local workforce ratio. There are no film-specific unions, allowing flexible 12-14 hour shooting days.
What experience do your PAs have?
Our PA roster ranges from entry-level professionals eager to learn to experienced PAs with multiple feature credits on Peruvian productions. We match experience levels to your needs — key positions get experienced PAs while general support can develop newer talent.
