Hey folks! I'm not someone who works in the creative side of things at all, but I have an uncle who is covering and shooting an athlete's 100K marathon, which he is running to raise awareness about mental health. He wants to know if I want to be the 'production coordinator'. I did a quick Google search and figured out what it was and said I'd be interested, but I'm not sure what the role actually entails. Could you explain what a production coordinator is responsible for? Even as bullet points!

You're pretty much the go-to person for troubleshooting and will be solving problems as they pop up. You'll probably be the one who has to organize schedules for the shoot (when and where to film the athlete), coordinate transportation for crew, equipment, and possibly the athlete, arrange meals, water, and rest stops for the team during the event.

Ask if he's referring to post-production too since thats a world of other responsibilities.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.
