Opportunities
Documentary Filmmaker / Employment
Deadline
August 15, 2026
Organization Name: Torus Research LLC
Organization Location: Seattle/Tacoma Area
Type: Employment
Fee: Free
A Seattle-based legal team is seeking a documentary filmmaker or small production team to produce a short documentary (approximately 10 to 20 minutes) for use in a judicial proceeding. The film combines newly recorded sit-down interviews with archival footage and photographs already gathered. The team provides story direction; the filmmaker brings the craft.
This is a paid contract funded through government funds. The subject matter is serious and the story begins in a difficult place, so we are looking for someone who can handle heavy material with honesty and care. No prior experience with the legal system is required, just strong interview-driven documentary skills (shooting, sound, and editing). Full details are shared with the selected filmmaker under a confidentiality agreement.
To apply, send a CV, links to one to three examples of your work, and a few sentences about why the project interests you. The strongest candidates will be invited to a Zoom interview. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
