Screenwriting for Documentary

Hey filmmakers, I'm Leah, a Post-Production Supervisor, and I'm putting out a call for a passionate, entry-level screenwriter to join an independent documentary film. This is a compelling, character-driven story exploring the underground world of competitive urban gardening, with a unique blend of heartwarming personal journeys and gritty competition. We're looking for someone to help shape our narrative arc, craft interview questions, and potentially contribute to voiceover scripting. Your main responsibilities will involve collaborating closely with the director to structure the story, identify key thematic beats, and refine our script outline. No specific gear is required for this role, but strong storytelling instincts and a portfolio of writing samples are a must. We anticipate the bulk of the writing work will happen over 4-6 weeks, with flexible hours. This is a volunteer, passion-project position based in Los Angeles, CA, offering invaluable experience on a meaningful project and a chance to build your documentary resume. We're a small, dedicated team, and we're excited to find someone who shares our vision for telling this important story. Please send your resume and writing samples.
