Director
Creative or operational relevance to directing
Manages art department logistics: budget, orders, rentals, returns, and scheduling. The role that keeps a large department from losing track of everything.
The Art Department Coordinator keeps the department organized. In a production with set construction, props, set dressing, and multiple locations simultaneously, this is a full-time job that has nothing to do with design.
What is Managed
- Budget per location and trade, with ongoing reconciliation against the plan.
- Orders and Rental Agreements — what is where and when it needs to be returned.
- Returns. Rented furniture and props have deadlines; overdue rentals are one of the most common unplanned expenses.
- Appointments with workshops, suppliers, and transportation.
The Interface
To the production management and accounting: What the art department decides is translated into figures here — ideally, before it is purchased.
