What we’re looking for:
This is an exciting opportunity for a creative and enthusiastic videographer with at least 3 years' professional experience and a real passion for the filmmaking process to join our team.

We work as a team and everyone is given the opportunity to contribute ideas, and to see their ideas come to fruition.
We’re looking for someone with at least 3 years’ industry experience. For us ability wins out over qualifications every time. If you can show us that you have a real gift for filmmaking, that you’re hardworking and enterprising, and that you’ve done filmmaking in a professional capacity for at least 3 years then don’t worry about not having the right qualifications. We are committed to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
