We are looking for filmmakers to produce groups of short, online videos for our websites. Our videos reach more than 70 million viewers, and by working with us, you can produce videos for high-profile websites, such as LIVESTRONG.COM, eHow.com and others.


We are not like other freelance filmmaking jobs. We offer you the opportunity to take control of your filmmaking and production career by creating your own schedule, managing your income and learning from other filmmakers.


Create your own Schedule

Some filmmakers use us to fill time between other gigs, while others focus on our assignments as their full-time job. We welcome both types of filmmakers and everything in between.


Work without Boundaries

This is a freelance position, and all work is managed through our website. This allows you to balance our assignments with other jobs, your family, vacations and any other passion you may have. Work as much as you want, when you want, from anywhere in the world.


Manage your Income

Payment varies by assignment and is based on number of video clips within the assignment. Videos are grouped together to allow for ease of shooting and average $200 to $300 per assignment.


Join a Community

Our filmmaker community is diverse, ranging from professionals to film students to amateur videographers who are skilled with a camera. And we offer you all the tools you need to communicate with and learn from your creative peers.

"Working for Demand Media has been an unexpected pleasant surprise! I originally signed up as a filmmaker a couple of years ago just to do something different and interesting on the side. I had no idea it would turn out to be as rewarding as it has. Not to mention, you get paid for your effort and thousands of people get to see it. Anyone looking to create good quality content with a purpose and make money in the process should think about working with Demand Media."

Lisa is a producer, director, talent, videographer and editor in the Pacific Northwest, with more than 20 years of experience in the TV and video industry.

"I have had a wonderful experience with Demand Media. When I first started, I had just moved from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City and was in search of production work. I began shooting for Demand Media off and on. Even when I landed a producer position with a local company, I kept coming back because it offered just as much work. However, it was more flexible, had better pay and was more interesting because of how much I learned on every shoot. I now produce for Demand Media full-time, and I love it. It gives me more freedom, flexibility and money to pursue independent filmmaking, which I love as well."

Michael Burton is a producer, director and editor currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. His resume includes everything from full-length DVD production to editing television spots for a Las Vegas ad agency.

You are joining a world-class team of creative and talented people at Demand Media. Our filmmakers have won various awards, including Peabodys and Emmys. They have also had work featured in film festivals, including Sundance.
