Documentary Filmmaker / Director — Global Traveling Food Business

About the Opportunity
After Hours Global is a traveling food business bringing culinary experiences, pop-ups, and community events to cities around the world. We are looking for a documentary filmmaker (director/cinematographer) who is passionate about food, culture, and storytelling to collaborate with us on a feature-length/episodic documentary project.

As a filmmaker on this project, you will have full creative direction to capture:

• The process of expansion into new countries
• Immersion into local culinary landscapes
• Partnerships with local chefs, venues, and vendors
• Event planning and execution
• Behind-the-scenes of business operations
• Interaction with community, customers, and staff
• This is an opportunity to tell a rich, human story through the lens of food and travel — leveraging our global footprint, established network, and events as your stage.

What You Bring

• Experience with documentary filmmaking, ideally with cross-cultural or travel-based stories
• Strong visual storytelling skills: camera, sound, lighting, direction
• Ability to work independently and remotely
• Good organizational/project management skills — coordinating shoots across countries
• Portfolio or reel of previous work

What We Provide

• Access: You will have open access to our events, global operations, and partnerships.
• Story Resources: We’ll help connect you with local chefs, venues, and community stakeholders.
• Creative Freedom: You will own the final creative vision of the film; you are free to use this project to apply for grants, sponsorship, or distribution.
• Co-promotion: We will support the film through our channels (socials, website, events).
• Compensation: This is not a salaried or paid travel role. There is no commitment from us to pay for travel, lodging, or meals. You are responsible for funding production independently (through grants, sponsorships, crowdfunding, etc.).

Application
Please send:

• A short cover letter / creative statement (why you are interested in this project)
• Your reel or links to previous work
• A preliminary vision (1-2 paragraphs) of how you envision the film (themes, style, structure)
• Your resume / CV
• Send applications to: [email protected]
