On the surface ProductionYak.com is an amazing tool for finding businesses to help you hit the ground running when on location.  Think of it as a Yelp for the Production mind.  The creators have been adding businesses that are used year in and year out by the production industry. On the site you will find articles about production and life after production, ProductionYak produced videos, and a bag of other information and tools.  One of the best tools on ProductionYak.com is the I Need It NOW! Tool.  First you have to be a Yak Pak Member. The Membership is free, after you have been reviewed by the site.  The review checks to see if you are working in one of the many production areas from Production Assistants to Coordinators to  Producers, and everything in between.  Once active you can send calls of help to your specific category or everyone with the click of only a few buttons.  In most cases the site is effective in getting help back to you right away.  So if you ever find yourself in need of a ice cream truck that serves lactose tolerant ice cream bars for a very special actor, in the middle of IOWA, then this could be your savior!  You can use the service to post jobs as well.  The site has boards for random ideas, movie reviews and anything else you want to talk about with your fellow production folk.  Definitely check it out if you are in production of any sort, this could be your golden ticket.
