"Putting Out Fires"

Hey there! I'm Jordan, your friendly neighborhood AD (Assistant Director). I started as a production assistant and worked my way up in the film industry. Now, I'm sharing my knowledge so you can work your way up too!

I've worked on everything from super indie to major Hollywood productions. On set, I'm constantly asked for advice from new and ambitious PAs. That's why I created Set PA Academy. To provide a wealth of knowledge, advice, and secrets to budding industry professionals.

It is my mission to help fast track your film career, whether you know what you want to do or not! Learn from my mistakes, and adapt what's worked for me!

Technically, I've been in the Film industry for over 20 years (starting as an actor). I've been working as a crew member on professional productions since 2018

Why should I learn from you?

I've advised hundreds of PAs on set, and continue certain mentorships to this day.

I was able to move up the ladder very quickly - especially for my age. Learning from my successes, and failures, you can do it even faster.

When it comes down to it, you don't know what you don't know. And since the film industry is so nuanced, with every set being different, it can only help to have extra guidance in your back pocket.
