Creative Director (Videographer)

This is the dream creative director job.
You will be embedded inside Fastlane, camera in hand, capturing everything that happens as we build a unicorn: product launches, strategy sessions, late nights, customer visits, arguments, wins, failures, trips, off-sites, etc. Then you'll turn it into the most interesting stories in startup.
You will own the cinematic side of Fastlane's content - long form, high-quality horizontal short-form, founder storytelling, behind the scenes, etc. You will have full autonomy to go and find the story yourself, know when to pull the camera out, ask the right questions, and make art from the the raw inputs.
The goal is to make Fastlane the most addictive startup series in the world to watch. This is a role for someone exceptional - we're aiming to be a unicorn in 18 months, and you will be a core part of that having documented the entire thing from the early days.
