Content Producer / Social Media Manager for Feature Film

Blood and Gold Dust Productions is seeking a creative, dependable Content Producer / Social Media Manager to help build the online presence of an independent feature film and its director.

This is a hybrid position combining video production, editing, social media management, and digital marketing. The ideal candidate can professionally shoot and edit YouTube videos while also turning each filming session into short-form content for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.

Our content will include director videos, filmmaking education, investor-facing presentations, production updates, behind-the-scenes material, interviews, promotional videos, and content related to the upcoming feature film Blood and Gold Dust.

This position requires someone who understands how to create polished, professional content—not simply casual phone videos or generic social media posts.

Responsibilities

Film professional YouTube videos featuring the director and production team
Set up and operate cameras, lighting, microphones, and teleprompter equipment
Help direct and coach participants during on-camera presentations
Edit long-form YouTube videos with clean pacing, graphics, music, and sound
Create vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts
Identify strong hooks, quotes, and promotional moments from longer videos
Write captions, headlines, video titles, descriptions, and calls to action
Design or coordinate YouTube thumbnails and basic social media graphics
Develop and maintain a consistent social media content calendar
Schedule and publish content across multiple platforms
Organize footage, project files, photographs, graphics, and completed videos
Track performance, engagement, audience growth, and video analytics
Recommend ways to improve content based on performance
Maintain a consistent visual style and brand voice
Coordinate directly with the director and production team
Occasionally film meetings, events, interviews, location visits, and behind-the-scenes production activity

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is both a capable video producer and a strategic social media marketer. You should understand how to make someone look and sound professional on camera, while also knowing how to package that material for different audiences and platforms.

Our primary audiences include:

Potential film investors
Film industry professionals
Cast and crew
Independent filmmakers
Western and mystery film audiences
Supporters of the New Mexico film industry

You should be able to recognize that investor-facing content requires a different tone than entertainment-focused social media content.

Required Qualifications

Experience shooting and editing professional video content
Strong understanding of camera composition, lighting, and audio
Experience editing long-form and short-form videos
Familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable editing software
Experience creating content for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn
Strong writing skills for captions, titles, descriptions, and promotional copy
Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple pieces of content
Strong organizational and file-management skills
Ability to work independently and accept creative direction
Professional communication and dependable attendance
Ability to work locally in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas
A portfolio or examples of previously produced content

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with filmmakers, production companies, actors, or entertainment brands
Experience filming interviews, presentations, podcasts, or educational videos
Knowledge of YouTube search optimization and audience retention
Experience creating thumbnails and graphics using Photoshop, Canva, or similar software
Familiarity with paid social media advertising
Experience with social media analytics and reporting
Photography experience
Interest in independent film, Westerns, mystery films, and the New Mexico film industry
Access to professional camera, audio, and lighting equipment

Initial Paid Trial Project

Selected candidates may be asked to complete a paid trial assignment that includes:

Filming one director-focused YouTube video
Editing one complete long-form video
Creating three short vertical clips
Producing one YouTube thumbnail
Writing titles, captions, and descriptions
Preparing a short posting plan for the completed content

The trial project will help determine the candidate’s production quality, creativity, reliability, communication, and understanding of the project’s brand.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate will help us create a repeatable system in which one filming session produces multiple useful pieces of content, including:

One polished YouTube video
Several short-form social media clips
Photographs or promotional frame grabs
Investor-oriented LinkedIn content
Quotes or educational posts
Behind-the-scenes material
Content that can be reused across multiple platforms

A résumé or summary of relevant experience
A link to your video-production portfolio
