We are looking for a talented emerging videographer to be our next Joanne Leonhardt Cassullo Video Fellow (Video Fellow) in this ten-month, part-time paid fellowship. The Video Fellow will contribute to all phases of production for original content—behind the scenes of exhibitions and newly renovated collections, artist features, event coverage, and more. Our video team plays an integral role in the Museum’s digital content strategy, by raising awareness and buzz for the Museum and growing video viewership and engagement through impactful visual storytelling.
Reporting to the Video Producer, and in collaboration with the rest of the Digital Content team, the Video Fellow will primarily assist in the shooting and editing of engaging short-form videos. We are looking for a passionate storyteller willing to multi-task with our team on deadline—from creating highly produced original videos for various social media channels to fun, dynamic, buzzy videos for Instagram Reels and TikTok. The ideal candidate will have strong technical experience—creating content proposals, staging/lighting an interview, camera operating (Canon R6), audio (Zoom/Wireless Lavs) and post-production (Adobe Creative Suite).

A successful candidate will meet many of these requirements, and have the desire and capacity to learn the rest on the job.
