Follow blocking, timing, and performance instructions from the production team. Repeat officiating movements consistently across multiple takes. Work professionally with actors, players, fellow officials, and crew members throughout filming.

Requirements: Previous basketball referee experience or strong officiating knowledge required. Must understand basketball rules, violations, fouls, and standard referee procedures.
