About this opportunity

My KoKo is a coconut brand born in Hội An, launching in Europe and the United States within the next 18 months. Before we go live, we need a visual foundation: a library of brand films and photographs that capture the essence of what we are. Coconuts, Vietnam, sun, texture, life. This is not a content farm brief. We want cinematic quality: the kind of shot that makes someone stop scrolling.

The role

A one-month creative mission based in or near Hội An, with travel across Vietnam as needed.

Shooting and production

  • Plan and execute brand shoots across Hội An and other locations in Vietnam: beaches, coconut farms, local markets, resort settings, rivers, villages
  • Source and access shooting locations independently, including approaching resorts, hotels, and venues to negotiate free or low-cost access in exchange for content
  • Cast and manage actors or models on set when a more composed shoot is required: briefing them, directing them, making it feel natural on camera
  • Capture the raw, authentic side of coconut culture in Vietnam and the aspirational side: the lifestyle, the light, the beauty
  • Work independently day to day, with creative direction provided remotely

Post-production

  • Edit all video footage: colour grade, music, cuts, to produce short-form and long-form brand films
  • Select and retouch the best photography for brand use
  • Deliver all edited files and raw material in an organised shared folder
  • Adapt cuts for different formats: vertical for reels and TikTok, horizontal for YouTube

Deliverables include short-form brand films (15 to 60s) and longer story cuts (60 to 180s) for video, and hero brand shots alongside location and ambiance photography. Exact targets are agreed at the start of the mission. Volume matters less than quality.

Compensation

Mission fee of $600 for one full month of shooting and editing. Travel costs, actor and model fees, and props or set costs are covered separately, all agreed in advance and reimbursed on receipt.

Working conditions

Based in or near Hội An for the duration of the mission, with travel across Vietnam as the work requires. Creative direction is provided remotely. Day-to-day organisation is yours to manage. If the mission goes well, this is not a one-off: we will need a trusted creative eye for campaign shoots, launch events, and seasonal content as the brand grows.

What we are looking for

  • Based in or near Hội An, or willing to be for the duration of the mission
  • Experienced in both video production and photography: you shoot and edit, end to end
  • Fluent in English, spoken and written
  • Resourceful and self-directed: you find the locations, solve the logistics, make things happen
  • Comfortable approaching people and businesses to negotiate access
  • Your portfolio shows you can shoot beauty: light, texture, nature, people
  • You own or have access to professional-grade equipment. A drone is a plus.
