Filmmaker

What makes this job meaningful?

At Amazing Life, we believe the world’s greatest mission, the Church, deserves the world’s greatest tools. Everything we do flows from that calling, and our content serves as a powerful vehicle for this mission. We create media where the next generation can experience and learn about God and further their faith journey. Our media reaches 100's of thousand of kids every weekend.

We’re looking for someone who wants to get in early and help us build–both the content and the culture, as we continue to grow our refreshed shows and Lewisville studio studio. This role is about making meaningful, excellent content that serves the Church and speaks to the next generation, not just chasing trends for clicks. You’ll collaborate with a passionate team, shape workflows from the ground up, and have a real voice in how ideas move from concept to screen. If you’re energized by building something that lasts, and believe the Church deserves its very best work, this is the right role for you.
