Who Should Use This Checklist

Producers, production coordinators, assistant directors, studio managers, booking coordinators, department leads, and crew managers should use this checklist whenever they distribute a new or revised call sheet.

Records to Keep

Keep the approved call sheet, version number, approval time, recipient list, distribution time, delivery method, failed delivery records, acknowledgements, revisions, and follow up actions.

These records confirm which information each recipient received before the production day.

Keep Call Sheet Distribution Consistent

Use the same approval, recipient, version, delivery, and acknowledgement process for every production day. Revised call sheets should replace earlier versions clearly, especially when call times, locations, access instructions, or assignments change.

This checklist covers call sheet distribution only. The production team should review and approve the call sheet content before the distribution process begins.
