Documentary & Film Production Volunteer

Stories have the power to shift culture, challenge assumptions, and spark conversations that lead to real change. We’re exploring the creation of a documentary that shines a light on maternal grief and the lived experiences of motherless mothers — helping raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for better support.

Responsibilities

Depending on your experience and interests, you may support with:

• Documentary planning and creative development
• Story research and interview preparation
• Filming interviews and supporting production activities
• Video editing and post-production
• Creating short films and promotional content
• Supporting audio, lighting, and technical aspects of filming
• Helping shape a compelling, sensitive narrative that reflects motherless mothers’ experiences with respect and emotional intelligence

Requirements

• An interest in filmmaking, storytelling, journalism, or digital media
• Creativity and strong communication skills
• Sensitivity when working with personal and emotional stories
• Experience in filming, editing, production, or related areas (welcome but not essential for all aspects of the project)
• A collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded approach

We welcome volunteers at all levels — from aspiring filmmakers building a portfolio to experienced professionals wanting to contribute their skills to a meaningful cause.

Schedule

Flexible and project-based. Can be shaped around your availability and the production timeline.
