Film making today requires a team of minimum 100-500 people. Be it for commercials or films or TV shows, everything requires A CREW! While we have amazing platforms bringing to us stories and interviews from the actors, directors and writers we never hear of the other 100-500. These are the assistant directors, line producers, prop assistants, costume coordinators, gaffers and so many more. WILD TAPES will bring to you sides you never knew existed on a film, behind the camera will have a new meaning and most of all how a piece of cloth can make 500 people run for their lives. Let's hear what it takes to execute a film and everything in between!
