11-50

Hosltly is a hospitality company managing hotels and villas in Zanzibar. We’re launching a behind-the-scenes short-form channel about building hospitality on the islands — real ops, people, and daily chaos. We’re looking for a local filmmaker, storyteller, or small creative agency to own the creative direction and production of this channel — bringing the story to life through cinematic visuals, humor, and real-life moments.
<h2>Tasks</h2>
🧭 What You’ll Do 
You’ll lead the creative side — from planning content to capturing authentic moments and shaping the story. 
Key responsibilities: • Develop and run the content strategy (weekly themes, storylines, and ideas that build continuity) • Film and direct short-form and cinematic content that follows the three directors and their team • Capture moments across hotel operations, staff life, island adventures, and business growth • Edit and post-produce engaging clips for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts • Manage posting schedule, captions, trends, and community engagement • Pitch creative ideas, experiment with formats, and help evolve the style and tone of the channel
<h2>Requirements</h2>
🎯 Who We’re Looking For
We want someone who: • Has a strong eye for storytelling — can turn real moments into watchable stories • Can film, edit, and direct (phone, mirrorless, or camera — whatever you work best with) • Understands social media platforms and what performs well • Is confident working around people, catching moments as they happen • Takes initiative and thrives in creative freedom • Ideally has experience with travel, lifestyle, or business content • (Bonus) Has their own equipment or small team • (Bonus) Has run or helped grow a social channel before 
💡 Collaboration Style
We’re open-minded — this can be: • A freelance or retainer partnership (monthly arrangement) • A joint creative collaboration (shared ownership of the channel) • A film school partnership or creative project with ongoing involvement
We want someone who genuinely wants to build something long-term, not just shoot and leave. 
📍 Based in Zanzibar
Ideally, you’re already on the island (Unguja) or willing to relocate.
📩 How to Apply
Send us: • A short intro about you or your team • Links to your previous work or social channels • Your vision for how you’d capture “Life in Zanzibar” • Your availability and preferred working arrangement
