Storyhunter, a web video journalism company based in New York, is ramping up its global coverage and looking for freelance video journalists and documentary filmmakers to produce 3-6 minute documentaries, which are then published by premier media companies like Yahoo!, AOL, The International Business Times, Newsweek, The Economist and MSN.
As part of the global network, you'll have access to various assignments and editorial tools in Storyhunter's online work space created specifically for video journalists and documentary filmmakers.

We have approximately 3 days of work for a talented junior producer in New York City.
We are looking for a Chinese speaker with competent Final Cut Pro skills (and editorial chops!) to help with a preliminary sweep through about a dozen interviews in Chinese, providing the first—but crucial—clean-up edit, leaving us with tidy video cuts to send to our translator. All of the good stuff: in. All of the useless stuff: out.
Fine print: It's a confidential project, and we may need the producer to sign a simple non-disclosure agreement before taking the work. We sadly admit that smallish budget of around 150/day is very modest, but we anticipate this could turn into a few more engagements on the project for the right person; we will negotiate an appropriate credit for when the work finally goes to air/print. The work will be at our office in the Flatiron district, or if the producer has FCP, we can be flexible.
We're looking for talented writers, video journalists, photographers, data journalists, and illustrators.
We are looking for experienced journalists, photographers, and videographers to join our new freelance network.
