Kevin Saunders

Adaptable, organized production professional with hands-on set experience as a PA, unit photographer, stand-in, and background performer on an international feature film shoot, combined with a photography and video production background running my own creative business. Comfortable wearing multiple hats in fast-paced environments, coordinating logistics, and supporting producers and crew to keep a shoot moving. Fully available for the full production window and eager to grow into a production role on an independent genre film.

Production Assistant / Photographer / Stand-In / Background at Suresh Cedrick Productions (2025-08 – 2025-08)

On-location shoot in Ireland — one-week production block

• Supported producers and crew across four roles (PA, unit photographer, stand-in, background) during an intensive on-location shoot, adapting quickly to whatever the day required.
• Shot unit and behind-the-scenes photography alongside general set logistics, cast/crew coordination, and production support, working around the camera department without disrupting takes.
• Gained first-hand exposure to how an independent production runs day-to-day — call times, set etiquette, and the pace of a working film set.
• Worked effectively as part of a small, tight-knit crew under real production pressure — reliable, professional, and ready to problem-solve on the spot.
