Francois Caillaud Email and Phone Number

I love filmmaking and I love being an AD. Running a film set, directing all department heads and ensuring that the entire cast and crew is working on schedule to achieve the director’s creative vision is what I strive for. To accomplish this, I concentrate on logistics, I plan both the daily schedule and long-term production timeline, I execute the shooting schedule and I keep a safe, controlled and efficient set, while also serving as a liaison between the director and the rest of the cast and crew. I have enjoyed collaborating with many great directors, producers, directors of photography, production designers and of course incredibly talented cast members throughout my career. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself:- I put the director’s vision at the center of all that I do.- I excel at the execution of creative solutions with given challenges.- I value a genuine dialog with my fellow crew members.I can lead, manage and motivate a film crew from 10 to 100 people.- I love being in charge, but cherish the indispensable value of team work.- I speak tech and exec.- I am firm, fair and tell great narratives to motivate.- I listen, respect and address everyone’s concerns throughout the process.I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person.- I am constantly learning because I never settle.- I stay calm when faced with adversity.- I focus on making high-quality decisions.I enjoy working with creative people and pushing the boundaries of story telling.
