St. Mary’s Church, Totnes are seeking a community-minded filmmaker
As part of the Uplift Project, we are seeking a freelance experienced and community-minded filmmaker to collaborate on an exciting new heritage project working with a local youth organisation. This project will explore and celebrate the young people's response to St. Mary's Heritage and the wider history of Totnes, through the creation of a high-quality short film led by young people.
The selected filmmaker will work with a group of young people, supporting them to develop their skills in storytelling, filming, possibly interviewing and editing. The role involves facilitating a number of creative workshops, guiding the group through the full filmmaking process, and producing a final film that reflects the young people’s voices, perspectives, and research into local heritage.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of working effectively with young people or community groups who can create an engaging and empowering environment for participants. Strong communication skills, patience, and a collaborative approach are essential.
Applicants must also demonstrate a portfolio of film work, including examples of previous community or youth-led projects, documentary-style films, or creative work that showcases their skills in visual storytelling. Ideally the person will be local or familiar with the area, with local knowledge of historic sites and Totnes.
After training sessions the young people will do the filming and the filmmaker will have trained them to edit their initial footage. The filmmaker will do the final editing to make a finished film that will be shown in the community.
Due to school times, we are hoping the project can start in February half term ( for an initial first session with the young people) and then again at the beginning of the Easter holidays, possibly continuing in the summer holidays.
The filmmaker will be working with the young people with youth group staff present. We will require you to have a DBS ( basic) and we can pay for and process that. We will need to see references and you must have your own insurance to work as a freelancer. This is a paid position (funding through a National Lottery Heritage Lottery Grant) and the current budget is £750 for three workshops and £1500 for editing. Some costs may be negotiable, though can’t be guaranteed, as this is subject to funding.
In the first instance, if interested, please email the activity co-ordinators ( Jess Langton and Grace Deathridge) a copy of your CV and links to a portfolio or website. We would also appreciate a covering letter detailing why you are interested in the project and what you can bring to it - maximum 500 words.

Deadline: Sunday 4th January 2026
We would like to talk to interested parties in the week beginning 12th January.
