Seeking a Storyteller Who Can...

Evoke Emotion Through Visuals.

VIDEOGRAPHY & CONTENT CREATION INTERN

Homes on the Sound • KW Puget Sound • Browns Point / NE Tacoma, WA

Part-Time • 10-20 hrs/week • $18-$20/hr • Flexible Hours

The Vision

Tacoma is full of stories that deserve to be shared-stories that make you smile, feel proud of your community, and prompt you to message a friend, "Have you seen this spot?"

We're launching a community-focused video series - "Made in Tacoma" and "Made in Browns Point" - highlighting the authentic people, businesses, and moments that define this unique part of the Pacific Northwest. This isn't about corporate promos or typical real estate ads. We're creating content that genuinely engages viewers.

And we want the perfect collaborator to bring this vision to life.

What You'll Be Doing
Visit local businesses with your camera and capture their stories
Conduct relaxed, conversational interviews with owners
Film the essence of the neighborhood: shops, food, faces, waterfronts, quirky signs-everything that tells the story
Edit each episode into a main 3-5 minute video and a shorter 60-90 second vertical cut
Occasionally cover community events that are often a lot of fun
Share your creative ideas-if you think of a better or funnier approach, we want to hear it
Who You Are

No film degree or expensive gear required. What matters is a keen eye, strong editing skills, and a personality that quickly puts people at ease.

High school senior, college student, or recent graduate from any discipline
Skilled at shooting videos that keep viewers engaged until the end
Proficient in editing software-Premiere, DaVinci, CapCut, iMovie, or others
Understand how content performs differently across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, and tailor your posts accordingly
Self-motivated, dependable, and able to work independently
Bonus points if you have drone piloting skills, graphic design experience, or familiarity with the local area
On Creativity

Let's be clear: creativity isn't optional here-it's essential. We want someone who sees a local diner and instantly envisions multiple ways to film it. Someone who thinks a Stranger Things-themed dry cleaner video sounds like a fun project. Someone who knows the difference between a technically adequate video and one that truly stops people mid-scroll.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

The Details
Compensation: $18-$20/hr based on experience and skills
Commitment: 10-20 hours per week, scheduled around your availability
Filming locations: Browns Point, NE Tacoma, and nearby areas
Editing work can be completed remotely
This is an ongoing series, not a one-off assignment
