FREE LIVE WORKSHOP ON ZOOM · TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 · 7PM EASTERN
00:00:00:00
You did a great job on the last shoot. So why hasn't the phone rung?
Get On Set is a free 90-minute workshop with Rob Perkins, a working producer who has hired thousands of crew. Build your call list and send three messages that keep you top of mind for the next crew. We do it together, live.
GET ON SET
Tue, Dec 1
Every wrap feels like starting over.
You wrap a job and hear "you were great, we'll call you."
Then nothing.
The work comes and goes. Some months are packed. Others, the phone is quiet and the savings take the hit.
You'd like to reach out, but you don't want to look desperate or bug anyone.
So you wait for the next call.
Don't network. Connect.
Rob Perkins, producer. WWE since 2003.
I hire crew for a living. When I'm choosing between equally qualified people, the one who stayed connected can have the edge.
Staying connected isn't annoying when it's done right. A well-timed message from someone I liked working with makes my job easier.
The goal is enough real relationships that when one group is slow, another one is busy.
In 90 minutes, on Zoom, you'll:
Create your call list
Every producer, PM, coordinator and department head who has hired you or could recommend you, written down.
Pick who to reconnect with first
A short list of people you've lost touch with.
Activate the relationship
Learn how to stay in touch by taking a real interest in people, without asking for work every time.
Send three messages, live
I'll show you what I like to get from crew, then we send them together.
Leave with a plan for 2027
Started now, while there's still work to pick up in 2026.
Bring your phone and a list of everyone who's hired you. We'll send the first messages together.
Where this fits: the list and the messages are the first two steps of my C.A.L.L. System. The rest (the impression you leave on set, and a money system for slow months) is what I teach after that. I'll show you the whole map.
Who it's for
This is for you if:
- You're freelance film crew in any department: camera, grip, electric, sound, art, wardrobe, hair and makeup, production and more.
- You work on movies, TV, commercials, documentaries, sports or music videos.
- You've got some production experience. Newer crew are welcome, and so are 30-year veterans.
This one isn't a fit if:
- You're hoping someone hands you a job. Nobody can promise that, me included. What I can give you is a better shot at being the first call.
"I'm a freelance crew member, too."
- 25years producing
- 2003producing for WWE since
- 30+states, thousands of crew hired
Rob Perkins has produced for 25 years and is still producing: WWE since 2003, plus Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, Snickers and Applebee's.
He has hired thousands of crew across more than 30 states. He sees every week who gets the call and why.
He teaches freelance film crew to get more work, manage unpredictable pay and build long-term wealth.
From crew he's worked with:
Luis Patriño, a production assistant, went from working mostly with Rob to working with at least a dozen other producers in less than a year. He called Rob's advice "cheat codes." (permission pending)
Straight answers
Is it free?
Yes. Call it my holiday gift. Register so the Zoom link and reminders reach you.
Is there a replay?
Yes. Everyone who registers gets the replay until Friday, December 4, 11:59pm Eastern (verify). Come live if you can: the live room is where we send the messages together.
Do I need anything?
Your phone and a list of everyone who's hired you. A notebook helps.
Will I be on camera?
Only if you want to be. You can follow along with your camera off.
Is this only for commercial crew?
No. Movies, TV, documentaries, sports, music videos, commercials. Every department.
Will you sell something?
Near the end I'll tell you about First Call OS, my program for crew who want help with the next steps. No pressure. If the workshop was useful, that's a good day for me too.
Your next job could be one message away.
