Damn Good People is a DEI-focused concierge staffing service facilitated by Desert Island Studios that matches mid to advanced-level production creatives and technicians to production jobs in Oregon. When a project partners with us, we work with their production team to facilitate the sourcing and hiring of talent from our roster based on their project needs. The DAMN list is vetted and can fulfill a variety of crew needs across all departments. Our roster represents a talented community of mid-level professionals from traditionally underrepresented communities within the film/tv/commercial industry.
In addition, the program provides personalized support to the professionals we staff onto productions as a way to cultivate connection and mentorship within our community. Throughout their time on a project, participants can call on Desert Island Studios staff to provide feedback and answer questions. For hiring managers, DAMN also includes a short production industry-focused DEI orientation for department heads, as well as an HR pipeline for mediating any grievances if they should arise.
