Keep Sets Rolling & Protect Your Slate While We Run
Call Sheets, Deal Memos, Clearances & Wrap Books
Stop losing principal photography momentum collecting crew W-9s, chasing location release signatures, cross-checking SAG-AFTRA station 12 logs, and formatting daily call sheets at 1 AM. Sagedoer provides Managed Production Virtual Assistants supervised by a dedicated Project Manager at $0 management fees.
Why Producers Partner With Sagedoer
Your greatest leverage as a producer comes from securing talent attachments, closing finance packages, and guiding creative visions—not formatting crew spreadsheets, cross-checking COIs, or organizing receipt scans.
Crew Deal Memos & Onboarding
Dispatch, track, and archive start packets for Above-The-Line and Below-The-Line crew in Wrapbook, Greenslate, or DocuSign. We collect I-9s, W-9s, direct deposit authorizations, and emergency contact registries.
Call Sheet & Sides Coordination
Assist your 1st and 2nd AD with compiling daily shooting call sheets in StudioBinder or Setkeeper. We verify cast call times, nearest hospital details, weather forecasts, parking instructions, and distributor sides.
Clearances, Releases & COIs
Protect your delivery pipeline. We maintain master clearance binders for location agreements, crowd notices, appearance releases, artwork rights, music synchronization cues, and Certificate of Insurance (COI) binders.
Petty Cash & Purchase Orders
Keep actuals aligned with Movie Magic budgets. Your VA reconciles departmental petty cash envelopes, logs art department P-card receipts, cross-checks POs, and prepares itemized cost-to-complete logs for your line producer.
Post-Production & QC Delivery Hub
Keep post-production on schedule. We organize editor review links in Frame.io, compile closed caption scripts, format LTO delivery schedules, and audit distributor delivery deliverables binders.
Dedicated Project Manager ($0 Fee)
Zero micromanagement headache while you are in video village. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager oversees daily VA task outputs, checks legal binder completeness, and ensures rapid turnarounds with zero extra fee.
Film & Commercial Tools We Master
We integrate directly into your production management suites, payroll platforms, script breakdown tools, and review hubs.

What Producers & Production Heads Say
Real experiences from independent film producers, commercial studio heads, and line producers.
"During principal photography on our indie feature, our Sagedoer VA generated call sheets in StudioBinder nightly, checked crew timecards, and maintained our release forms. It saved our production office at least 25 hours a week."
"We produce national broadcast commercials on tight 3-week turnarounds. Having an assistant dispatching crew deal memos in Wrapbook and collecting location COIs with zero lag time has been a total lifesaver for our line producer."
"The dedicated Project Manager makes the entire experience seamless. When distributor delivery checklists require ASCAP cue sheets and textless backgrounds, our PM ensures the delivery files are checked and organized flawlessly."
"Hiring a full-time local production coordinator would easily cost $65,000+ per year. At $6/hour, Sagedoer supported 3 concurrent digital documentary series while slashing our administrative overhead by over 70%."
