HOW TO APPLY READ CAREFULLY, THIS IS THE INTERVIEW
We don’t shortlist from resumes. We shortlist from edits.

Your application task:
Go to our YouTube channel and pick any published Field Days video you like.

Cut TWO original short-form reels from it (30–60 seconds, 9:16 vertical, captioned):

Reel 1 — made for TikTok: raw, fast, native TikTok energy. Hook in the first 2 seconds or it’s a scroll-past.
Reel 2 — made for Instagram Reels: cleaner, more polished feel, still hook-first.

Upload both to Google Drive (make sure link sharing is ON “anyone with the link can view”).

Send your application starting with the word REELS, containing:
Your Google Drive link with both edits

2–3 sentences: which video you chose and why you built each hook the way you did

Links to short-form work you’ve done for other brands/creators

Your earliest start date

What we’re judging: the hook, the pacing, the captions, and whether each edit actually feels native to its platform. If we like your edits, we’ll contact you for an interview and a paid trial week.

Applications without the REELS keyword or the two edits will not be reviewed. Please don’t send generic showreels instead of the task the task IS the application.

Note: application edits may be used for our audience to see the reach of the reel or if the audience like it.
