Hey everyone,
I’m currently working on a film project, and as part of the production team, I’m responsible for organizing the food and drinks for the crew on set. I wanted to reach out to this community to gather some advice, tips, and recommendations on how to effectively manage this aspect of the production.
Here are a few specific questions I have:
Variety: How do you ensure there’s enough variety in the meals and snacks provided throughout the day to accommodate different dietary preferences and restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free)?
Logistics: What are some efficient ways to manage the logistics of ordering, transporting, and setting up food and drinks on a film set, especially considering the often hectic and fast-paced nature of production schedules?
Budgeting: Any tips on budgeting for film set food & and drinks? How do you balance providing quality meals while also keeping costs reasonable?
Sustainability: Are there any practices or strategies you’ve implemented to reduce waste and promote sustainability when it comes to food and beverage services on set?
Favorite Snacks/Meals: Lastly, I’d love to hear about some crowd-pleasing snacks or meals that have been a hit on film sets you’ve worked on. Any go-to options that are easy to prepare, transport, and enjoy between takes?
I appreciate any insights, experiences, or advice you can share on this topic. Managing food and drinks on set is an important aspect of ensuring the crew stays energized and focused, so I’m eager to learn from your expertise.
Thanks in advance!
