Apply to this Director of Photography (DP) Job

About the role:

We are seeking a DP for an upcoming docu-style, branded content interview shoot in Brooklyn, NY at Kirrin Finch. It will be 2-3 interview subjects and essentially talking head style but with a more exciting background and relaxed feel. This shoot will be B-roll heavy and the intention is to highlight the company's products and employees to show their story and how they became successful.

Our Producers want a DP who is willing to add creative input before the shoot. This isn't a "show up and shoot" gig. We want someone who wants to lend their creative vision to the project. Collaboration with the rest of the creative team is highly valued.

Crew will consist of DP, 1-2 ACs, Audio, Teleprompter, Photog, PA. DP and AC will need to set up camera/lighting. DP is welcome to recommend ACs.

Basic gear needs on your end will be camera, lighting, video call feed ability, monitor for a very small video village for our client (can be wired or wireless). AC would need to provide a media management laptop (for a small kit fee). We provide hard drives.

Ideally, we would love to rent camera/lighting/grip gear from you directly if you have everything on hand but we can supplement with camera house rentals, as needed. Our Producer is traveling into NY for the shoot and all crew will be local so we don't have a way to provide gear outside of rental houses.

Please share any relevant websites/reels/etc and let us know what gear you own.
