§ 01 — The work
We are building out our freelance DP roster. Most of our work is documentary or documentary-adjacent. We shoot patiently, often handheld, occasionally on long lenses, and we expect our DPs to make the camera disappear in rooms where the subjects already feel observed enough.
This is a project-based engagement, not a full-time staff role. We typically book DPs for one-to-three-week shoots, with occasional longer commitments for documentary features.
We pay current market day rates, cover travel, and handle production logistics in-house. We are not bringing on DPs who require us to also act as production company.
§ 02 — What we look for
§ 03 — What we don't
We try to be specific about who this role is not for.
§ 04 — Apply
Send your reel, a list of recent shoots with director credits, and your standard day rate (including kit fee if applicable).
Include
We read every application within two weeks. We respond to every applicant whose work we read, even briefly. We do not use ATS keyword filters.
