About the role
We are seeking a creative, reliable, and highly skilled Videographer to join our growing production team, primarily serving the corporate video market. This is a hands-on, on-set role suited for a visual storyteller who has trained in a film school environment and understands what it takes to work professionally on a crew. You will be part of a collaborative team producing high-quality branded and corporate video content - from talking-head interviews and internal communications to full-scale commercial productions. Whether you are behind the camera, rigging lights, or gripping on set, you bring a crew-first mentality and a strong foundation in filmmaking practice. Fresh graduates from film school or polytechnic film/media programmes are welcome to apply, provided you have real on-set experience.
