Why Choose SageDoer
Outsource The Admin. Focus on the Frame.
Producers lose critical creative and negotiation time acting as their own production coordinators. SageDoer delivers elite-tier, highly organized VAs overseen by dedicated PMs—with zero hidden agency fees.
No Management Overhead
We recruit, vet, train, and supervise your production virtual assistant. Your dedicated Project Manager oversees their daily crew holds, permit tracking, and wrap binders so you don't have to.
Extreme Cost Efficiency
Instead of paying a $600/day local production coordinator just to chase receipts and check crew avails, utilize our managed VA system. Protect your production margins and actualize under budget.
Relentless Follow-Up
Crew members and vendors are notoriously hard to pin down. The VA acts as the persistent coordinator, calling and emailing until holds are confirmed, W9s are submitted, and gear lists are finalized.
Consolidated Time Logs
Pay only for precise operational hours tracked in our centralized logging system. No monthly membership platform fees, no minimum commitment agency margins between shoots.
Flawless Wrap Binders
Ensuring the agency and client get billed on time. The VA manages petty cash logs, reconciles P-Card receipts, and organizes digital wrap binders so you close out jobs faster.
Seamless Backup Coverage
Shoot dates are non-negotiable. If your primary assistant is sick, our internal pool of cross-trained backup VAs steps in seamlessly to ensure call sheets go out on time.
Deep Production Expertise
Tasks Your Production VA Handles Daily
Our virtual assistants act as your remote production office, handling the coordination so you can focus on the set.
Crew Holds & Booking
Pinging your roster of DPs, G&E, and Art Dept for avails. The VA tracks responses in a central spreadsheet, challenges holds, and sends out official booking confirmations.
Call Sheet Generation
Drafting the preliminary call sheet in StudioBinder or Excel based on your schedule. Collecting dietary restrictions, nearest hospital info, and ensuring the weather forecast is updated.
COI & Vendor Paperwork
Chasing down insurance brokers for Certificates of Insurance (COIs) needed for camera houses, locations, and grip trucks. Managing W9 collection for freelance crew.
Wrap Binders & Actualization
Organizing the digital wrap folder. Renaming messy receipt scans from PA's, matching them to P-Card statements, and updating HotBudgets so you can actualize the job faster.
Travel & Logistics
Booking flights and hotels for traveling crew and talent. The VA compiles detailed travel itineraries and manages ground transportation (Uber vouchers, rental cars) for out-of-town shoots.
Casting & Talent Coordination
Scheduling virtual casting sessions on Zoom, organizing self-tapes into presentation folders for the director, and ensuring all talent releases are signed and filed in Wrapbook.
The SageDoer Difference
Why EPs Skip Standard Freelancers
Reliability & Security
Handing over unreleased brand campaign details to unvetted strangers is a massive NDA risk.
Strict internal vetting, signed NDAs, and secure delegated access environments protect your agency.
Day-to-day Management
You must micromanage task execution, teach them Wrapbook, and verify their crew follow-ups.
Your dedicated Project Manager coordinates operations, reviews the wrap logs, and builds SOPs.
Pricing Models
High $400-$600/day rates with 12-hour minimums, burning through your below-the-line budget.
0% Hidden Markups. Pay strictly for actual working hours. Scale up during prep, scale down after wrap.
