Hire production assistants
in Long Island City.
Reliable PAs with on-set experience for productions, photo shoots, festival operations, and brand content days.
Manhattan is the busiest single brand market in the country. Three engines in parallel: the Javits Center trade-show calendar (NRF Big Show, NY NOW, ICFF, NYCC), the financial-services corporate axis (FiDi up through Park Avenue), and the Fashion Week / retail flagship corridor (Soho, Fifth Avenue, Hudson Yards, Meatpacking). Outside Manhattan we cover Brooklyn (Williamsburg / DUMBO / Barclays / Industry City), Queens (Citi Field, USTA Billie Jean King for the US Open, LIC waterfront), and the Bronx (Yankee Stadium). NYC roster is built for on-camera stakes — working actors, Equity hosts, runway-experienced models, about 50% bilingual or trilingual talent. All staff are 100% W-2 and NY Department of Labor compliant.
Showcraft serves Long Island City and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Long Island City (LIC) is Manhattan-adjacent waterfront Queens — one subway stop from Grand Central, operationally part of our Manhattan dispatch, and increasingly home to media-and-tech corporate campuses (JetBlue HQ, MoMA PS1, the Citigroup tower). The Hunter's Point South / Gantry State Park waterfront drives a heavy summer brand-activation calendar, and the LIC warehouse-format venues anchor a real experiential pop-up run. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Gantry Park activations, hospitality crews for MoMA PS1 Warm Up summer series and gallery events, demo teams for JetBlue HQ partner days, and warehouse-pop-up crews for LIC creative venues. Bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin coverage. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Long Island City buyers ask about production assistants.
What kind of production assistants does Showcraft provide in Long Island City?+
Set PAs, key PAs, office PAs, runners, locations PAs, and on-set logistical support for photo shoots, video productions, brand content days, and festival operations across New York City. Every PA is briefed on call-time, parking, lockup protocols, and chain of command before day-of.
Do your Long Island City PAs have on-set experience?+
Yes — our Long Island City PA roster is drawn from people who have worked productions in New York City before, not first-timers. They know set etiquette, basic walkie protocol, lockups, and craft service flow. For specialty needs (camera PA, art PA, locations) flag the department in your initial request.
Are your Long Island City PAs W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every Showcraft PA working in Long Island City is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage — important for productions that need to keep talent off 1099 status. In California, that's fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
How fast can you staff PAs for a Long Island City shoot?+
Quote turnaround is under 24 hours. Standard fill for a Long Island City crew (3-10 PAs) is 3-5 days. Rush calls under 48 hours are accommodated with a surcharge — we maintain enough roster depth in New York City to fill most last-minute shoots, though selectivity drops as lead time shrinks.
