We are proud to present our biggest, most ambitious project to date! Faith 21 Films has acquired a premium domain name, and we are launching a brand new original travel vlog with it. In addition to the thousands already invested, Faith 21 Films is committing tens of thousands more into this production over the next two years, and we anticipate that it will become our flagship production. Our staff is absolutely driven to succeed. No other company will work as hard for you as our staff will. We are one of the fastest growing independent production houses in Chicago. Using effective networking, our staff rapidly builds industry relevant connections, fostering strong professional relationships. We grow a little bit every day, and so does the quality of our work. Our staff is oozing with excitement for what the future has in store for this production, and we are grateful to share this experience with some very talented and hard working individuals.
I have no acting, Production, Vlogging, performing or modeling experience. Can I still apply?
Absolutely. We encourage and welcome all to apply. If you can learn, follow directions and handle the rigors of travel, you can be successful in this position. 
Are there any special requirements?

Otherwise, if you can follow directions and work hard, you can be successful in this position. If you are dedicated to improving your craft, this is an excellent opportunity. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with and cast some of the finest talent Chicago has to offer. However, talent is a small component of a successful career in the production arts.

Where will the filming locations be?
Again, we need to keep some locations under wraps as to not divulge key plot points of particular productions. We can, however, inform you of a few details such as the cities we will be visiting. We will be visiting some popular tourists spots like the St. Louis Arch, Navy Pier, Rock n' Roll HOF, the Mall of America, Ect…. When not filming in Chicago, our crew will be on the road for between 3 and 18 days per month. This production is slated for shooting in the following locations:

  • Davenport, Iowa

It sounds like a great opportunity, but no job is perfect. What's the catch?
The catch is you will have to work hard to succeed. Yes, traveling around to different places is exciting and creating an original production is extremely fun. However, anything worth doing is not always easy. It will take a significant amount of time to produce and build a body of work, promote it and turn it into profit. It will not happen over night.

The facts are there are millions of content creators in the world. Do not think for one second it won't take hard work to separate yourself from the rest. It will require combining strict discipline with immense drive and dedication. It means pushing ourselves longer, harder and farther than our competition. However, If you are able to set yourself apart from the crowd, the end result can be very rewarding. If you are the right person that is not scared of tough situations, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
What if I am offered the position, and decide that it is not for me. Am I under any financial obligation if I quit?
No, none at all. We have the substantially large task of making the proper decisions about who we hire, at our expense not yours. We want you to be happy as a team member with our company. We also understand that a career in the Performing & Production Arts is not for everyone. You may walk away at anytime, you simply forfeit any claim to future compensation you may have. We are a small, laid back but highly productive staff of three employees. Our company culture is one of mutual respect, close comradery and a strong focus on success. Still, Faith 21 Films is a truly exciting company to work with. We are Fun loving, 420 friendly and adventurous!
I did not have very good grades in School. Is there a minimum G.P.A. required for the position?
No. We have seen with our own eyes that some individuals do not flourish while in the public school atmosphere, but do flourish when outside of the system. In many cases grades can reflect stability of home life or measure improperly motivated students, not intellectual capacity. We will of course take good grades into consideration, however you will not in any way be penalized for your G.P.A.
I have had disciplinary issues or I have said some things or have videos about me online that stigmatize me. Will that prevent me from qualification?
No, not at all. You are a human. Humans make mistakes. We believe in second chances and in most cases, third or fourth ones too. It's O.K. to have said or done things that you regret, that have been misconstrued or are unpopular. We're really not concerned about the silly Bush or Obama comment you made, the embarrassing whatever video or any other speech or action deemed offensive by some. Just be honest and tell us. Disclosure is key. We will address any concerns we may have with you and evaluate your situation fairly, on an individual basis. To error is a human quality, to forgive and accept does not seem to be.
I have very strong political, religious, social or unconventional science beliefs. Is that an issue?
No, absolutely not! We pride ourselves on our diversity. TRUE diversity, not the B.S. Identity Politics version that is so popular today. In the evolution of becoming the company Faith 21 Films is today, we have worked with staff members from all over the world and across the political spectrum. Individuals from India, The Philippines, Canada and Nigeria just to name a few places. If you work with us for a while, you can observe the many differing walks of life we surround ourselves with. We have Black staff, White staff, Asian, Christian, Muslim, Hindi, Catholics, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, alt-left, alt-right, Moderate, Pro-Trump, Anti-Trump, Science perfectionists, Pseudoscientists...You name it, we very well may have it. Each get equal treatment and each get to speak their mind as they see fit. No matter if you think the Earth is flat or you believe the Scientific Method is absolute, you are welcome here. Come as you are, that's the way we like things!
