Founded in 2012, Accelerate Change is a nonprofit (c3/c4) digital media lab. We work to increase civic engagement with BIPOC and low-income communities through digital media. Our programs include scaling emerging cultural media properties, investing in established cultural media properties, building influencer networks, leading a digital media lab, and driving civic engagement campaigns.
Accelerate Change is seeking a freelance Social Video Producer to serve as a hands-on technical lead for our short-form digital series. We are looking for 'feet on the ground' in key cultural hubs (NY or LA) to capture content in real life. Unlike a typical content creator, this is a production-first freelance opportunity. We need a producer with a TV, studio, or digital media background who can manage a set, handle audio/visual logistics, and direct talent on the street. You will serve as the hands-on showrunner for our short-form series, moving seamlessly from pre-production logistics to filming on-location to overseeing the edit.
Key responsibilities:
- Field Production & Street Shoots: capture 'in the moment' content, conduct person-on-the-street interviews, film on-location skits with run-and-gun agility.
- Show Development & Ideation: ideate and pilot fresh short-form content formats for in-house and partner brands.
- On-Air Talent & Host Persona: be comfortable stepping in front of the camera for TikToks, Reels, and digital segments.
- Scripting & Storytelling: write engaging scripts and pre-production materials.
- Flexible pre-production support and a brand-driven approach ensuring voice, tone, and aesthetic consistency.
What we're looking for: a demonstrated commitment to social change and social justice; 3+ years of TV, studio, or digital media production experience; technical proficiency with camera gear, audio setups, and lighting; location-based agility (based in NYC or LA); and an organized, autonomous logistical mindset.
Compensation: This is a 3-month contract opportunity with the potential to extend, at USD 50-65 per hour, roughly 20 hours per week. To apply, upload your resume and tell us about your experience on the application on our website. Accelerate Change is an equal opportunity employer.
