Join us Saturday Aug 16th from 1-2PM for the 2025 PA Workshop! Your instructor will be Adam Smestad - a writer, director, producer, script supervisor, assistant director, and
production assistant based out of Boulder, CO. He began working in the film industry in 2018, and eventually left a career in the law to pursue his dream of working in film and entertainment. He has worked on more than 50 sets, which include film, television and
commercial projects.
Adam began his career as a production assistant in Chicago and has experience working in the production office, in the art department, camera department, sound, G&E, crafty/catering, and is excited to share his experiences and advice to those looking to break into the industry.
The PA Workshop is designed for novice production assistants and those looking to break into the industry, as well as more experienced PAs looking to bone up on their skills. Adam will go
through the basics of the responsibilities of a PA, the qualities that make you stand out as a PA (and get you rehired), and tips he’s learned from his time working on set.
The event will be held in the Arapahoe Room on the 2nd floor of the Boulder Main Library branch. It's FREE but space is limited so sign up now!
