Field Producer

Chicago, IL

Corporate

Starts Apr 23

For 4 Week(s)

  • Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).

We are a small, Chicago-based media company in search of a Chicago-based field producer to execute a 3-4 week corporate filmmaking project. We have one project April 23 - May 13, and another on April 30 - May 24. You will travel, live and work with two Chicago-based cinematographers to capture interviews and footage for a series of corporate short films. All of your travel and accommodations are booked and purchased by us.

Our most successful producers love people - hearing their stories, getting to know them and making them feel comfortable. Most have a unique combination of experience and interest in journalism, film and marketing. This role is heavily client-facing. Our producers are responsible for identifying storylines, conducting interviews and being the client’s main point of contact in market.

Understanding of story arc and how to interview regular people (non-actors) to get the right soundbites and emotions are key skills. The producer must have the ability to observe character details, know when to lead a conversation, when to be led, and most importantly, know how to coexist comfortably with people. Prior experience interviewing non-actors is essential.

As the project lead, the producer is also responsible for all communications, client meetings, day-of-shoot logistics, smooth flow of all operations and delivery of assets on and off set. This role is supported by an in-house Supervising Producer and film team at the company’s office in Chicago.

Requirements and Skill Set:
Experience and comfort with interviewing non-professional talent on camera. Ability to make clients feel comfortable being on camera and being filmed.
General understanding of film production, set etiquette and protocol. Adaptability and quick-thinking problem-solving are key.
Acutely developed interpersonal skills in person, on the phone, and in written communication (email, text, etc). The ability to lead both production crew and client interactions is paramount.
Must have the keen ability to listen and focus upon the client during interviews with them.
Strong project management skills including the ability to track multiple client shoots and day-of logistics. Attention to detail is critical.
Specific years of experience are not required, but professionalism and polish are key.
Recent graduates with non-schoolwork film/video experience are encouraged to apply.

Please provide a brief cover letter and a link to your current work / resume for immediate consideration.
Innate talent, desire and work ethic go a long way.
