The Open Slate - Cat Laine (Assistant Director)

The Rewind Movie Podcast

Welcome to The Open Slate! Ever sat through the credits and wondered why there needs to be a Second 2nd Assistant Director? Or what the Best Boy is supposed to be the best at? In this series, we sit down with working film industry professionals from across the departments for unvarnished, honest, practical conversations about how and why they joined the movie business, how they contribute day-to-day to the creation of cinema, and how they maintain their careers in a high-pressure, highly sought after field.

Patrick and Gali are joined by Catherine Laine, an Assistant Director, Producer and Welfare Officer whose career incorporates everything from soap operas to Star Wars. Cat shares her experiences and her anecdotes, from the long days of unpaid work experience and endless petitions for jobs, through steadily working up through different departments with some of the biggest players in the industry, to her new family life on the south coast.
