Project

At present, this is a crowdfunded, collaborative project, with the aim of creating awareness and growing the project to attract interest from production companies who can help us take our vision further. Work by all members of the Quivalon team is done on a deferred-payment basis, meaning that pay is not guaranteed unless we secure enough funding. We are looking for people who believe in this project and want to use it as an opportunity to sharpen their skills and learn new ones. 

Applicants for all positions are encouraged to explore WorldofHOOD.com to understand the story and scope of Quivalon’s efforts before applying.

Required skill set

The main purpose of this role is to take weight off the shoulders of the showrunner and help her with the pre-production, production and post-production of several HOOD projects, both remote as well as on set.

We are looking for candidates who:

  • can manage their time effectively, working on several tasks on a tight schedule;
  • have good social skills which they can put to use adapting to different people and situations;
  • can use their initiative and work well on their own;
  • live in the Greater London area;
  • it would be a bonus if you also have editing skills.

Candidates will work remotely most of the time and should have a good WiFi connection and be able to work flexible hours. Hours will vary by week and depend on the candidate’s availability but they must be available for weekly production meetings (Tuesday mornings at 10AM BST – there is flexibility to move this to a different day & time). You’ll be required to work to deadlines which we will set together.
