Cinematographer / Editor
Q1 2022
THE PERFECT APPLICANT
Nothing thrills you more than the moving image. You’re all for artful cinema, music videos, clever commercials, and the entire filmmaking process, but beyond just being a fan, you’re a creator. You love both the art and science of making films. From dreaming up clever stories to finding great light for that perfect mood, you’re in love with creating work that’s beautiful, clever, and unique.
Many say you’re a natural-born filmmaker slash obsessive film nerd. You’ll treat our cameras and glass like they’re your only child. You’ll offer fresh ideas about how to tell a better story and compose breathtaking compositions. Since you’re a lifelong learner, you’ll gladly welcome feedback and seek out collaboration with other high-performing creatives.
The freelance life has been great, but being part of a team with a consistent salary as you film great stories in wild locations sounds pretty fantastic. It also wouldn’t hurt if the team was as dynamic and driven as you are. In fact, that’s probably a requirement, considering the high caliber of work you demand of yourself.
So step out, movie maven. It may be the perfect time to break away from the job-to-job mentality and move to a full-time career doing what you do best with people you enjoy.
