The runner is the entry point into the film industry — the person who keeps the production moving by handling the practical tasks that nobody else has time for. On an independent production, a great runner does not wait to be told what to do: they anticipate what is needed, execute it without fuss, and bring a positive energy that lifts the whole crew. Working as a runner at Indie Matter gives you direct exposure to every department on a film set and the chance to build relationships with experienced professionals from day one.
