Unsolicited Films
Remote
Salary: £1,800–£2,600 total (equivalent to £65–£90 per hour, fully compliant with National Minimum Wage 2025)
Unsolicited Films is seeking a Freelance Outreach & Communications Worker to support audience engagement for a small-scale UK screening tour.
The project centres on a completed 57-minute independent documentary by Glasgow-based filmmaker Zac. Screenings will take place across selected UK independent cinemas, arts venues and community spaces. This is a fully remote, email-based and flexible contract. No on-site event work or technical duties are required.
Role details
- Freelance contract. 25–30 total hours, delivered flexibly across 8–10 weeks (approx. 3 hours per week).
- For more information and to apply, please email zacburgers.world@gmail.com
Role responsibilities
The successful candidate will identify and contact relevant community groups, arts collectives, film clubs, student societies, grassroots cultural networks, independent media and niche cultural communities that may resonate with the film.
Weekly progress notes are required. A shared outreach log must be maintained with:
- organisations contacted
- dates of contact
- responses received
- confirmed support or collaborations
Final deliverables include:
- a complete contact spreadsheet
- outreach email templates
- a short summary of relevant audience groups for each city
Success is defined by clarity and consistency of outreach, not by ticket sales. Outreach must demonstrate genuine, targeted engagement.
Person specifications
Strong written communication and organisational skills, reliability, and confidence contacting organisations by email. Familiarity with grassroots arts or independent film is helpful but not essential. Previous outreach, comms or audience development experience is welcome but not required.
