THE ROLE OF THE 2ND AD
What does a second assistant director do? That’s one of the many questions we asked 2nd AD Pete Dress to answer for us. Dress is a coveted second assistant director, having worked on movies like Gran Torino, Steve Jobs, King Richard, and much, much more. If he can’t answer our questions, no one can.
PETE DRESS SECOND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Dress walks us through the myriad duties a 2nd AD must juggle. Dress clarifies, for those who don’t know, the principal differences between the 1st and 2nd AD, and walks us through the in’s and out’s of callsheets. He discusses the purpose of a callsheet, plus the common mistakes that inexperienced 2nd assistant directors may make when drawing them up.
BECOMING A SECOND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Dress’s advice isn’t limited to set. The 2nd AD lays out how he became a go-to second assistant director, and gives some tips for those interested in a similar career path. Plus, Dress recounts some of the most difficult challenges he’s been presented with during his time as an AD. Without spoiling things, let’s just say he has a cameo in Letter from Iwo Jima.
As Dress illustrates, 2nd AD’s are the unsung heroes of most sets. A great 2nd AD can save the rest of the crew from logistical headaches and allow them to focus on making the best movie possible.
