#17 Sarah Lucas: 1st Assistant Director

Welcome to episode #17 of The Filmmaker's Playbook, hosted by writer-director Jason Branagan.

On today’s show I talk to 1st Assistant Director, Sarah Lucas. Sarah's credits include A Gentleman in Moscow, Boiling Point, Malpractice, Midsomer Murders, Father Brown and Doctors, among many others.

In our conversation we discuss how Sarah got started in the industry, how she climbed the AD ladder, how a 1st AD gets hired, collaborating with her directors and other HODs to build schedules, the importance of treating the entire cast and crew with kindness and being a female AD in a male dominated industry.

The purpose of this podcast is to give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the filmmaking process and to make real-world, educational information about filmmaking and film careers accessible to everyone at zero-cost, so whether you're a casual film fan, an aspiring filmmaker, or a seasoned professional, I hope you enjoy today's episode and learn something interesting in the process.
