Your Story

We're hiring a Director of Photography/Producer, a hybrid role for someone who can shoot beautifully and run a production. You'll be behind the camera on shoots across brand films, documentary-style pieces, and client work, while also owning the logistics that get a shoot there in the first place.

Responsibilities:

Shoot across a range of formats: docu-style interviews, brand spots, narrative pieces, event coverage.
Own visual style and lighting decisions on set, in collaboration with directors.
Produce shoots end-to-end: scheduling, crew booking, gear prep, locations, and logistics.
Manage on-set budgets and vendor relationships.
Interface directly with clients on set, representing Story's craft and professionalism.
Collaborate with editors and post team to make sure footage sets up the edit for success.

Requirements:

Strong reel demonstrating both cinematography and produced work.
Experience producing shoots (budgets, crew, logistics), not just operating camera.
Proficiency with professional cinema cameras and lighting packages.
Based in the SF Bay Area or willing to relocate.

Bonus:

A strong eye: composition, lighting, and camera movement that elevate the story.
Production instincts: you can plan a shoot day that actually runs on time.
Calm, decisive leadership on set with crew and clients present.
Fast problem-solving when locations, weather, or schedules go sideways.
Collaborative mindset: you shoot for the edit, not just for the reel.
