Mae Shore Productions is looking to bring on an Associate Producer (possibly two) for an upcoming short documentary directed by Jessica Jones focused on a community of women motorcyclists in Oakland, WOMEN WHO RIDE. This person would ideally be someone that is really interested in the producing world, both on the fundraising side, and on the production side. Ideally, I'm looking for someone Bay Area based because I could use some help with upcoming shoots. However, open to diving up these responsibilities, and someone with interest in the fundraising side could be anywhere. On the fundraising side, I am looking for someone that has interest and/or experience in a private donor strategy. The film is mostly self-funded at the moment, so the pay is modest, but this is a paid part-time position. Hours are flexible and we can discuss workload and hours depending on what roles each candidate is most interested in. Looking for someone to start in February 2021. The position would be through the end of April with the very likelihood of continuing in the late summer through the fall.
