We’re looking for a creative video producer or video team to make a short, honest, character-led legacy and impact film for Upswing.
We need a person or team to help us make an impact and legacy video. The film will show our reach and the difference our work has made over the past 15 years, and will inspire people to reach out to us to collaborate, invest in and partner with Upswing.
But we are not looking for a corporate promo.
Instead of the usual charity impact film, we want you to help shape something bold and unexpected, with the same ambition as any show we’d make. We need someone confident enough to help develop the creative brief, bring together our existing footage, capture interviews and find a genuinely creative way to share our impact.
The film will form part of our artistic portfolio and hold its own as a creative project, distinct from anything else we’ve produced, ambitious and maybe a little unexpected, in keeping with everything else we make. Before applying, be sure to read the full project brief below:
DELIVERABLES
– Full video: approximately 3 minutes 30 seconds (with and without subtitles)
– Social trailer: 30 seconds (portrait format)
– 3 short reels: 15-20 seconds each (highlighting different story aspects)
– Lower thirds for all speakers, titles throughout, closing credits sequence and partner logos at close
Timeline
Shoot dates to be confirmed with successful producer.
Deadline to apply: 5pm, Thursday 27 August
Conversations with successful applicants: Between 2-9 September
Film to be completed & published: February 2027
Budget
The film & deliverables will need to be completed for under £6,500 (this to include all fees and expenses).
HOW TO APPLY
Please send us your take on the brief. Rather than a standard CV submission, we’d like:
– A short pitch: one initial idea for how you could approach the film, its structure and style, and how you’d bring the brief to life. You can send this in a way that suits you – voice note/video (max 2 minutes) PDF with reference images (max 3 pages) or plain text (max 1 page).
– A simple initial breakdown of costs, including your project fee and an indicative cost for the crew and days involved.
– Examples of relevant previous work (e.g: links to films you’ve produced, your website, CV, Instagram or Linkedin – anywhere that shows your work the best but make it easy to find!).
Send all of this to recruitment@upswing.org.uk with LEGACY VIDEO PRODUCER as the subject line.
Please note: Your pitch is your own intellectual property. We will not use your pitch ideas unless you are selected.
