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) as well as phone shooting is essential. 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.
****Please make sure to include links to 3 vertical (and at least one tabletop) videos in your cover letter. Applicants without vertical tabletop video examples will not be considered.****

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