About the role
Seeking an experienced Senior Story Producer for an independent feature documentary focusing on the hidden ecosystems of urban Los Angeles. This is an incredible opportunity to shape compelling narratives from unique footage and interviews. We need someone for approximately 6-8 weeks of work starting in late October 2026, paying $500-800/day, depending on experience. You'll be working closely with the director and editor to craft impactful story arcs and sequences, identifying key emotional beats and thematic through-lines. This isn't your typical talking-heads doc; we're exploring the unexpected, the resilient, and the often-overlooked beauty within the city's concrete jungle. Key responsibilities include logging footage, developing assembly edits, writing voiceover scripts, conducting preliminary research, and participating actively in story meetings. Candidates should have a strong portfolio demonstrating their ability to build engaging, character-driven narratives, ideally within the documentary space. Experience with remote workflows and AVID Media Composer is a plus. Please submit your resume and a reel or links to past work demonstrating your storytelling prowess.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
