Manhattan-Based Hindi and Telugu Translator Needed for Global Documentary
Reply to: gigs-m5vhp-2284257838@craigslist.org

A global feature documentary project focusing on microfinance as it impacts women in South America, India, Africa, and domestically in and around New York City is seeking translators for footage shot in India earlier this month. The ideal candidate is fluent in Hindi, Telugu, and English. The translator will view our footage and translate/interpret the necessary sections in writing, according to a format we'll describe. Completion of the project should happen within 2 weeks. We estimate it'll be about 20 hours of work, so we're offering $200 for completion, with an extra $50 incentive if it's finished in less time.

Our team includes a DP with 50 studio Hollywood films on his resume, a Second Cam with 20 on hers. Our Composer has produced for the Grammy-nominated Shiny Toy Guns. For more information about the project and the team, please respond to this message. Interested candidates should include an attached resume and a paragraph summary describing why they feel they're well-suited to join our Project Team. Thanks!

Location: Manhattan

Compensation: $200 for project completion, with a $50 bonus for being ahead of deadline
