A-DOC SEEKS FULL-TIME IMPACT DIRECTOR

The Asian American Documentary Network (A-Doc), is a national network of 800+ Asian American storytellers and film professionals working to increase the visibility and support of Asian Americans in the documentary field.

A-Doc members understand the vital role nonfiction films play in elevating Asian American history, perspectives and experiences in the public sphere, and the critical role filmmakers play in the social justice ecosystem. The network is committed to expanding the pipeline of stories about Asian Americans, ensuring those stories are informed by justice movements, and creating mutually-beneficial partnerships with progressive social justice organizations, social service agencies and advocacy groups rooted in Asian American communities. A-Doc aims to nurture partnerships with movement organizations, develop training for filmmakers and organizers, and craft impact strategies for discrete and thematic film campaigns.

A-Doc is a membership-driven network managed by a leadership team that are largely volunteers, with the support of two part-time staff members. We are searching for a full-time Impact Director to lead this visionary work.

The ideal candidate will have experience working within social justice organizations or movements, knowledge of the landscape of AAPI progressive organizations, and passion about the role film and the arts play in social change. They will be responsible for co-creating the strategic vision with the A-Doc Impact Steering Committee, and managing the project tasks and budget. This position is ideal for a creative leader who inspires collaboration, thinks about arts and narrative change like an organizer, and is not afraid to innovate.
