In Miami, production jobs have been increasing over the past five years, fueled by the growth of television production and advertising in the city. A significant portion of production jobs in Miami come from Latin American media. Telemundo has its headquarters in the city, and the Screen Gems Miami Studio was just built to create Latin American television and film content.

In Miami, the most popular production jobs are Cinematographers, Production Assistants, Producers, Art Directors, Writers, Set Designers, and Editors.

A lot of people get their starts in production through serving as a production assistant also known as a PA. The PA helps wherever help is needed. This person may be grabbing a snack or coffee for someone knee deep in shooting a scene or this person may be printing scripts for the cast.PA's often escort cast to and from set. And they even block vehicle or foot traffic from disrupting a scene that is being shot. This role is a great way to connect with everyone on set and establish relationships with people that can turn into a referral source.

Another popular way to get into production is by being a personal assistant to higher ranked people above-the-line, such as directors, writers, directors of photography and producers. This job is more administrative in nature and entails a lot of communication and scheduling management. This person is serving as the right-hand person of whomever they are supporting. If a personal assistant establishes themselves as a dependable and well-received employee to whomever they are supporting, they are setting themselves up to get a great referral for a promotion or apprenticeship.
