Summary

We’re looking for a talented filmmaker to partner with us on a recurring monthly basis to produce 8–10 cinematic vertical videos each month for our restaurant brands. Our vision is not typical restaurant social media. We want content that feels like Chef’s Table, a food documentary, or a premium commercial—not trend-driven Reels. Think beautiful lighting, intentional camera movement, immersive natural sound, macro food shots, slow-motion used with purpose, and professional color grading that showcases the craft behind every dish. Each monthly shoot should tell the story of the food—from raw ingredients and preparation to the finished plate—capturing fire, smoke, steam, slicing, grilling, plating, and the energy of the kitchen. We’d also like a handful of films that authentically feature our chefs and team members, highlighting the people, craftsmanship, and hospitality behind the brand. The final deliverable should be 8–10 polished vertical videos (15–60 seconds each) every month, optimized for Instagram and TikTok. If your portfolio demonstrates exceptional food cinematography and documentary-style storytelling, we’d love to see your work.
