About the Role

We are looking for a go-to Freelance Videographer & Video Editor for an ongoing partnership. We need a creative partner who is ready to jump into action when inspiration strikes or a new project drops. This isn't a "sit-at-a-desk 9-to-5" job—it’s a dynamic, fast-moving role for someone who is looking to be an integral part of our content production team.

Because we often work with quick turnarounds and various locations in the Greater Chicago Area, we are looking for a student who is highly responsive, mobile, and excited about a consistent stream of freelance work.

What You’ll Be Doing

Rapid-Response Production: Head to various locations (starting in Oak Park) to capture high-quality footage on short notice.

End-to-End Editing: Take raw footage and turn it into polished, professional content with a quick turnaround time.

Creative Collaboration: Acting as our primary visual storyteller for ongoing projects.

Requirements

Reliable Transportation: You must have a personal vehicle and be comfortable traveling between Oak Park and other areas in Chicago for shoots.

High Availability: We need someone with a flexible schedule who can prioritize our projects and respond quickly to new opportunities.

Technical Gear: Proficiency with professional camera equipment and editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci, or similar).

Organization: The ability to manage your own timeline and deliver assets promptly.

Why Join Us?

Ongoing Work: This isn't just a one-off gig; we are looking for a long-term freelance partner.

Portfolio Building: You’ll have a constant stream of high-quality content to add to your reel.

Competitive Pay: We respect your craft and offer rates that reflect your skill and availability.
