MFAI is Seeking a Videographer for Regenerative Agriculture Video Series

Michael Fields Agricultural Institute seeks a skilled videographer or media production team to shoot and produce a series of short, compelling videos that highlight farmer engagement with and field research on regenerative practices. The selected contractor will help document and communicate the impact of perennial agricultural systems. MFAI will provide contacts to appropriate farmers, lead pre-interview meetings on Zoom, and give detailed storyboarding guidance before farm visits. MFAI staff can also be available on-site during shooting. 

We are looking for demonstrated experience creating high-quality videos in an agricultural or nonprofit context. The contractor must have strong storytelling and editing skills and a commitment to representing diverse communities respectfully and authentically. We will request portfolio samples and references.
