• Work professionally and collaboratively with participants, clients, and other stakeholders
• Organize and deliver all captured footage following the shoot
• Potentially edit the footage into polished final video assets
• Incorporate feedback and revisions during post-production, if applicable

Requirements

This is a great opportunity to help bring an uplifting, community-focused story to life through thoughtful, commercial-quality video production.
