Start Date: April 29th
Duration: Approximately 10 - 14 weeks

**Key Responsibilities:**

We are looking for candidates who are not just experienced but are confident in their ability to lead a production crew, work closely with talent, and contribute significantly to the storytelling process. If you are a local to ATL and ready to bring your expertise to an exciting documentary series, we encourage you to apply.

We're looking at candidates for Field Producer who have experience with shows that combine mystery and process like Curse of Oak Island for a Discovery Network show. This show is on location in a rugged, outdoor environment. Candidates must be comfortable handling the challenges of that type of setting. Additionally, the cast uses heavy equipment such as excavators and mining drills so knowledge/experience in this area is helpful.

Primary responsibilities are directing talent in scene work, conducting interviews, tracking story points and assessing potential locations and secondary talent in the field to determine whether they meet the needs of our storylines.

The abilities to stay calm under pressure and pivot story-wise in response to changing facts in the field are key. You will be supporting the Field EP who will lead the producing charge, but able to produce independently when talent and crews split to cover different stories.

Experience in male-skewing programming and with paranormal storylines is also helpful.

The rate is per week. The pay schedule is every two weeks.

Title: Social Video Maker/Curator
Edutopia, the influential publisher of videos and stories about what works in education, is seeking a video creative to work with us on short-form and social media videos.

We’re on the hunt for a freelancer who can regularly plug in to our small group of filmmakers to:

1. Develop and create (mostly) vertical reels and shorts: tabletop, archival/stock/repurposed footage with graphics, and other fresh formats we haven’t thought of yet;

2. Curate reels and shorts made by classroom teachers, combing through Instagram for compelling and useful content for our audience of preK-12 educators.

Must live and breathe short vertical formats, be extremely comfortable with scrappy one-person production yet have a strong sense of art direction, and possess a talent for pitching, writing, and identifying relevant micro-content hidden in our other work.

Experience editing vertical video both in-platform (Instagram, for example) or out-of-platform (Capcut, for example) is essential, and familiarity with Premiere and After Effects is ideal. Aesthetically pleasing handwriting, good sketching ability, and knowledge of the preK-12 education space are pluses. Must also have the patience and diligence for video curation and willingness to dig deep for the gold. Applicants without vertical tabletop video examples will not be considered.

What more you should know:
Our range for this remote role is $45-$70/hour depending on location, experience, and skill level. Weekly hours are negotiable.
