Job Description
🎥 Director of Photography (DoP) – Vertical Feature Film
Shoot Location: Mexico City (subject to change)
Position Type: Freelance / Per Project
Rate Type: Flat
Start Date: Mid October
Job Description:
We’re crewing up for our next vertical feature and are looking for a Director of Photography who’s experienced, efficient, and excited to shoot in 9:16.
This is for creators who don’t see vertical as a gimmick — but as a legitimate cinematic format with its own rules and rewards. You’ll be part of a lean, focused team executing scripted stories (30–120 min in total runtime) broken into dozens of 75-second episodes, shot quickly and at scale.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience as a DoP on scripted content (feature, short, series)
- Familiarity with (or enthusiasm for) vertical format storytelling
- Strong visual instinct for composition, lighting, and emotion in a mobile-first frame
- Ability to move fast without sacrificing quality — we shoot fast, and prep is key
- Experience leading small-to-medium camera and lighting teams
- Comfort working within tight schedules and limited resources
- Collaborative mindset — you’ll be working closely with directors, ADs, and producers
- Reelshort / Dramabox / similar platform experience a plus, but not required
