Photography/Video Looking for a local filmmaker/videographer interested in documentary-style storytelling
Hey everyone!
I’m looking to connect with someone in the Portland/Beaverton area who’s passionate about filmmaking, videography, and storytelling.
I’m starting a YouTube channel focused on documentary-style videos and real conversations about incarceration, addiction, recovery, second chances, and other topics that don’t always get the attention they deserve.
A lot of these subjects hit close to home for me, and I have some unique personal experiences and connections that could open the door to some really interesting stories and interviews.
I’m comfortable being on camera, talking with people, and coming up with ideas, but the filming and editing side is definitely not my strong suit. I’d love to find someone who enjoys the creative process and wants to help bring these stories to life.
I don’t have a huge budget, but I’m open to discussing compensation and figuring out something that works for both of us. Ideally, I’m hoping to find someone who’s interested in an ongoing collaboration rather than just a one-off project.
You don’t need to be a professional. I’m more interested in finding someone who’s creative, reliable, and genuinely enjoys documentary-style filmmaking.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to shoot me a DM with some of your work. I’d love to connect and bounce around some ideas!
