Second Assistant Directors
Experienced 2nd ADs keeping your Peruvian production on schedule from Lima to Cusco.
The 2nd Assistant Director on a Peruvian production manages call sheets, coordinates background artists, and handles the logistical details that keep the 1st AD focused on the shooting floor. In Peru, 2nd ADs must navigate Peruvian labour law for crew hours, coordinate talent across diverse locations, and manage the administrative requirements of productions accessing local film incentive programmes.
Through NeedAFixer, we connect you with Spanish and English-speaking 2nd ADs who bring disciplined organisation and clear communication to every production day. Our network includes professionals experienced in managing features and series at local production facilities and studios, complex multi-location shoots, and international co-productions that Peru's competitive incentive programme attracts.
