Entry-Level Doc Story Consultant, Lagos

Hey filmmakers, I'm a screenwriter developing a compelling independent documentary project based here in Lagos. It explores the vibrant, often hidden, subcultures thriving in our city, with a focus on a fascinating local art movement. It's a character-driven piece, intimate and thought-provoking, and I'm really excited about its potential. I'm looking for a passionate Story Consultant to join me in refining the narrative structure and emotional arc. Your main responsibility will be to analyze existing footage and interview transcripts, provide critical feedback on story points, character development, and overall pacing, and help brainstorm creative solutions for challenges that arise in the edit. This is an entry-level position perfect for someone with a strong understanding of documentary storytelling, even if you don't have extensive professional credits yet. We're looking for someone with excellent analytical skills and a fresh perspective. Previous experience working with documentary footage or script analysis is a plus. This is a partnership opportunity, meaning compensation is equity-based, reflecting your contribution to the project's success. We're aiming to begin detailed story work in the next 4-6 weeks, with flexible hours. We'll provide all necessary materials, including project outlines and access to early cuts. Let's create something powerful together.
