Application for National Student or Recent Graduate Filmmakers Program at RadicalMedia
OVERVIEW: We’re looking for aspiring filmmakers around the country to capture stories of how the unique gifts and talents of people in your communities contribute to a greater whole.

In exchange for mentoring and a stipend, student filmmakers will learn and collaborate (individually and with teams) on a national storytelling initiative that shines a light on people who embody American ideals through everyday actions. Actions that may not make headlines, but definitely make a difference. These stories will be told through a comprehensive collection of thousands of video and photographic portraits of those who contribute. This 4 week program will be run through award-winning production company RadicalMedia. Student Filmmakers will be tasked with finding and researching a total of 5 unique stories within the month related to topics of community, contribution, stepping up and giving back. You will be guiding and helping participants share their story in a visually compelling way. Note: this project is intentionally apolitical. We’re seeking stories that transcend politics of any kind. Resources, training, and check in will be provided to ensure student filmmakers walk away with insight into documentary and journalism style storytelling, research, strategic outreach, user generated content and production.

Note this is NOT meant to be a full time commitment- stories can be found on your own time around the other projects/schooling you are working on, with one weekly check-in meeting (virtual).

NOTE: This is a contract position that requires a weekly time commitment (dependent on how fast you learn, and how efficient you can be with work) with weekly deadlines. This is ideal for recent graduates or students looking for professional hands on experience. If you have multiple jobs, projects, credits or are hoping you can finish your contract assignment in one day or weekend, this won't be the project for you. *
