What educators are saying
Katie McQuone, Milken Educator of the Year, 2019, Sunnyside High School, Fresno, California
"There are plenty of websites that promise to teach "soft skills" but when it comes to this industry I have not been able to find anything that talks about the real life expectations of working on a set.
This course is full of interviews with real industry people, all who have either started as a PA or have worked their way up the ladder. The information presented is as close to real life as you can get without physically being on a set.
With my classes being completely virtual this year these courses have allowed my students to get an in depth look into television and movie sets from the safety of their home while also giving them knowledge that can be utilized the second it is safe for them to get out and land a job on their own.
I can't recommend these courses enough and am so excited for my colleagues to share this curriculum with their classes as well."
Jim Weaver, Media Academy Teacher, Sunnyside High School, Fresno, California
"Kincade Productions was such a benefit to my students. Many of my students view a career in production as something that only elite students capable of getting into a big film school have access to. These classes helped my students realize that an entry level position is a perfect way to begin their career in the Television or Film Industry.
I especially liked the focus on skills that will help them in any job. Work hard. Be on time, which is 15 minutes early. Be responsible. Follow through. Do things properly. Money management.
The students enjoyed the lessons and many of them now plan to pursue a career in Film or TV. I highly recommend Kincade Productions."
Jennifer Dhillon, Executive Director, Bounce Back Generation

“We have been working with Kincade Production this last year training our staff on how to be a Film Production Assistant.”
“This online course offers smart, entertaining, and practical skills for students to find clients, learn what is expected on the job, the etiquette of a film set, and much more. Our students have enjoyed learning while gaining confidence and an understanding of what it takes to be professional in the film industry.”
Theo Hollingsworth, FormerDirector, BAYCAT, San Francisco California
BAYCAT Academy provides free digital media education to low-income youth of color and young women, ages 11-17 after school and during the summer.
“Robin came and spoke with our video interns and got them so excited about the prospect of getting into being a PA with her series. I'd highly recommend it for anyone regardless of age that's looking to transition into the Production Assistant world!”
what are students saying?
“I think what was most important to me was when they talked about your attitude and how it should be. Because no one wants a Film Production Assistant that’s always in a bad mood and being mean to everyone. They want a Production Assistant who’s willing to go the extra mile for them.”
“I think just being able to understand the type of job a Production Assistant has to do and it could be either challenging or easy.”
“The most important part for me was how to act as a PA. I think I would be one to accidentally talk too much or too less. She mentions how it is better to answer the question straight forward, not to add too much or too little detail.”
“The most important part was learning the basics of how to get your first step into the industry and what you need to do to be successful.”
“To me the most important part was understanding the role and job as a PA and how important it is to start your career off.”
“Just getting to know what we had to do and what goes into being a PA because it could be something I would want to do in the future so the first course really breaks that down for me.”
