Pitching, scripting, filming, editing videos @potus @whitehouse
The video team is a component of the Office of Digital Strategy, the office managing the President’s social platforms and digital partnerships. I first interned at the Office of Digital Strategy in the summer of 2023 and was asked to return full-time in July.
As a Video Producer, I cover presidential events at and away from the White House. We also film digital-first messages from the President. Beyond presidential engagements, I pitch, script, shoot, and edit explainer-style videos with administration officials and pullaside videos with guests at the White House.
It’s an unpredictable, fast-paced job that requires you to be quick on your feet and think quick on your feet! You can find examples of the broad content I produce below. More clips are available upon request or elsewhere on this site. All videos are shot with Sony FX3/FX6’s and edited with Adobe Suite.
