• Support operational workflows by:
• Following session instructions from project coordinators and onsite staff

• Communicating clearly about operational or technical issues
• Sharing feedback on workflow clarity, equipment usability, and session procedures
• Travel to nearby filming locations as needed, which may include local retail spaces, residential-style settings, partner-operated environments, kitchens, workshops, or other pre-approved venues within reasonable travel distance of the main office. When dispatched, you'll:
• Confirm the location assignment and reporting time in advance
• Arrive on time and ready to begin
