    Documentary films produce some of the most meaningful content that millions of people should be seeing, and we’ve found that clips from documentary films are very popular on Upworthy. Check out these posts on women’s self esteem and undocumented high school students, which received hundreds of thousands of clicks.

    We are looking for a Film Fellow who can help us find more upworthy documentary film content. We’ll be looking at a wide spectrum of issues, such as protecting the environment, human rights, the cost of war, and many other important challenges. We want to provide Upworthy’s users with compelling insights into these issues, and significantly raise awareness for these important films.

Your job might include: watching new and older films to look for particularly inspiring, funny or emotionally compelling clips that millions of people should watch, monitoring release dates to discover fresh content, writing up posts about the film clips with irresistible headlines, and monitoring community engagement on Upworthy’s social media properties, like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. You’ll work directly with Upworthy’s leaders, get the inside scoop about our work on virality, and have freedom and flexibility over your own schedule.

    *Ideally, basic familiarity working with video files. You can take a DVD, cut a clip, and post it online.
    *Ability to manage projects and hit deadlines.

    *Self-manager, self-teacher and self-starter. 
    *Understanding of and love for social media—if you have a great blog, Twitter feed, or Tumblr with a dedicated following, that’s a good sign.
