GlossaryWhat is a call sheet?
Definition. A call sheet is the one-page document sent the evening before each shoot day that tells cast and crew where to be and when. It lists the date, the call times, the location, the scenes, the cast and crew, and any notes for the day.
Updated 2026-10-12. Every screen is Spring Pro running Midnight Diner, our demo production.
Who makes it
The 2nd assistant director normally prepares it from the schedule, the 1st assistant director approves it, and the production office sends it out.
In Midnight Diner

Questions
What is the difference between a call sheet and a schedule?
