Director of Photography Wanted for Indie Short Film

What’s involved

An independent film team based in Upper Manhattan is looking for a Director of Photography for a short narrative film. The shoot runs 4-5 days total, spread across two weekends in late September. Hoping to find someone with a strong eye for mood and atmospheric lighting, plus real experience shooting narrative (story-driven) work. You should enjoy collaborating closely with a director rather than just executing a shot list. If you already work with your own small crew (gaffer, 1st AC, etc.), that's a big plus, and having your own camera package helps but isn't required. This is a paid gig — please tell us your rate when you reach out. To apply, email this post with a short intro plus your reel or past work samples, and include request code UPPERMANHATTANDP. We'll follow up with the script and more production details for anyone who seems like a good match.
