Freelance crew network
Join our worldwide freelance crew.
8020 Films is a video production company in Los Angeles, London and Paris. We produce video and live events for global brands and agencies in those cities and wherever else our clients need us.
Rather than flying crews in, we work with trusted local freelancers wherever we shoot. That's why we're building a network of crew in every city: so when a project lands near you, we already know who to call.
Directors, DPs, camera operators, sound mixers, gaffers, producers, editors: if you are good at what you do, apply below.

The network in action
A 10-person crew in Paris, run from the US
For Rocket League: Tested by the Pros, Hayden5 and Epic Games needed a stylish promo filmed in Paris with 12 pro players, across four sets in a single 10-hour day. Managing from the US, we put the whole crew together locally. That is exactly what this network is for.
