Added 2025-03-20 19:30:52 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: LOUAISTA
We’re looking for a passionate and skilled storyteller who understands the hip-hop landscape and can craft compelling long-form content. The ideal candidate should have experience in research-heavy documentary-style writing, scriptwriting, or content production, with a strong grasp of engaging narratives that keep audiences hooked for 30+ minutes. They should be able to analyze hip-hop culture, history, and industry trends while translating that knowledge into gripping scripts. A deep understanding of pacing, storytelling structure, and audience retention strategies is a must.
Our videos rely heavily on external clips—including interviews, news reports, podcast conversations, arguments, and other sources of information. The candidate must be able to source relevant clips independently to support the script and storytelling.
