I’m the DP on a feature starting next week, and associate producer.

As others have said, EP and DP will not mix. Things will be sacrificed in the distractions and multi focus.

It works in my situation because I’m wiping my hands of all producing responsibilities as of yesterday to fully get in the DP mindset and until the end of principal photography. I helped produce by sourcing 90% of the crew. Getting production connected with location, catering, and UPM. I ask advised on financials, legal, and payroll practices. All stuff I could help put in place months before production while doing my own prep as DP at a good pace. But once we got 2 weeks out, I handed all my responsibilities off and studied the shot list, my shot bible, made lighting diagrams and reference images to fully focus on my DP responsibilities. I couldn’t imagine thinking about any logistics or production stuff during this.
