BoardCast Media is hiring

We are building the crew that films the Tri-Cities.

Two videos a week. Real people, real places, real creative freedom. One videographer/editor, one show host — and a share of what we build for the ones who stay.

Video introduction coming soon

A short intro about these roles is on the way.

The work

The videos are the marketing.

Not ads about the Tri-Cities — the thing itself. Specific enough to fascinate one group of people, generous enough to be worth their time, distinctive enough that they send it to somebody. Remarkable means worth making a remark about. It has nothing to do with budget.

If somebody finishes one of our videos, they should be thinking:

“I had no idea that was here.”“We should try this.”“You need to meet this person.”“I finally understand.”“Let’s go this weekend.”“I want to be part of the next one.”

1Explanatory“Now I understand”

2Emotional“This matters to me”

3Experiential“I want to try that”

4Discovery“I didn’t know this was here”

5Behind the scenes“Show me how it works”

6Participation“I want to join in”

7Recognition“Someone should celebrate this”

8Transformation“Look what changed”

9Useful local“I need to save this”

10Uplifting news“Something good is happening”

Positive storytelling

Curiosity, discovery, effort, change. Businesses show up through craft, people, and process — never an ad dressed as content. A Perk can invite action at the end; the story earns the interest first.

Not this

Promo interviews and benefit lists
Empty “hidden gem” claims
Forced hype and manufactured controversy
Outrage, humiliation, or hardship as entertainment
Anything with no real Tri-Cities connection

One audience at a time

Every episode serves a specific group first — families, food, outdoors, seniors, athletes, newcomers. Content for everyone reaches no one.

Two openings

Pick the seat that is yours.

Both are contract to start, both have a path to something permanent, and both come with real say over how a story gets told.

Videographer / Editor

Show Host

The face people trust enough to follow into a stranger’s kitchen.

$30 / hour16 hrs / week to startPart-time contract, growing

Built for someone with a real passion for people and media — charisma, curiosity, and warmth matter more than a resume. Hours grow with the project, and if you can edit, they grow faster.

What you do

Host on camera: intros, interviews, walk-and-talks, participation pieces
Make the guest the star — you are the reason people stay, not the subject
Research your subject before the shoot so questions go somewhere real
Join the weekly planning meeting and pitch what you want to cover

What you bring

Comfortable and likeable on camera
Genuinely curious about people and places in the Tri-Cities
Reliable on shoot days — Thursday through Saturday, sometimes Sunday
A clear criminal record check

What we bring

Mentorship from working professional consultants
Pro-level training opportunities as the channel grows
More hours on request as the project scales, and more again if you learn to edit

How this starts

One month guaranteed. Three good ones earns the offer.

No pretending this is something it is not. You start on contract, we both find out fast whether this works, and the runway gets longer the better the work gets.

1Month 1
Guaranteed month
Your first month is guaranteed. We find the rhythm together and figure out what the channel sounds like.
2Months 2–3
Month by month
Renewed a month at a time on one condition: marketable content, delivered on schedule.
3After month 3
Official offer
Three consecutive months of marketable content earns a real job offer conversation.
4Long term
Revenue share
Committed, long-term crew become candidates for revenue sharing once the channel earns enough to pay out. Earned over months, never a signing bonus.

Straight up: while you are under contract, either of us can walk away at any time, for any reason, and we do not have to give one. That cuts both ways, and it is why the first month matters.

The rhythm

What a week actually looks like.

Predictable enough to plan your life around, loose enough to chase a story that shows up on a Tuesday.

Thu – Sat

Shoot days

On location across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. Some Sundays.

Same day

Drive upload

Every card offloaded to the shared Google Drive the day of the shoot. Non-negotiable.

~3 days

Edit & plan

Cut the week’s episodes, pull the shorts, line up what is next.

Weekly

Planning meeting

One meeting to lock the coming week. Jerry joins some shoots, but stays out of your way.

The long game

Stay, and you share in what it earns.

This is an independent local platform, not a franchise. The people who commit to the trade, to the business, and to sharing in this community are the people we want beside us long-term — and that means revenue sharing on the table.

It is earned over months of good work, not handed out at signing, and it depends on the channel actually earning: a library deep enough and an audience large enough for YouTube to pay out. That is the honest version. It is also the whole reason we are hiring a crew instead of renting a videographer.

Equity is a separate conversation. An ownership stake goes with promotion to a director-level role in the company — it is not something either crew role earns by putting in months, and we would rather say that plainly now than have you hear it in a year.

Hosts, read this part

The host role is built for someone with a passion for interacting with people and working in media. You get mentorship from working professional consultants, pro-level training as we grow, and more hours whenever you ask for them. Learn to edit and they come faster.

Who owns what

Clear rights, no surprises.

Video we pay for is ours

Crewed episodes are Tri-Cities Board property. Share links and embeds anywhere you like — masters are not re-uploaded to other channels.

Articles we pay for are ours

Paid written stories belong to Tri-Cities Board. Share our links; full pieces are not republished elsewhere as your own.

Business video stays theirs

Video a business submits remains their own to post wherever they want, as long as it is not edited in a way that damages us, our partners, or our people.

Want clips for a private portfolio or reel? Ask. The answer is usually yes.

Contractor policies

Everything you agree to, in plain language.

Read these before you apply — you will be asked to accept them on the form, and we hold to them. Nothing here is buried in a contract you see later.

Contract & trial

The position is guaranteed for one month to start.
After that it renews month by month, on one condition: marketable content, delivered.
Three consecutive months of marketable content earns an official job offer conversation.
Either side may end the contract at any time, for any reason. Tri-Cities Board does not have to provide a reason.
You are an independent contractor: you invoice us, and you handle your own taxes and coverage.

Schedule & delivery

Shoot days are typically Thursday through Saturday, sometimes Sunday.
Roughly three days a week go to editing and content planning.
We meet once a week to plan content.
All footage is uploaded to the shared Google Drive the same day as the shoot. This is non-negotiable.
Missing a deadline without prior approval or a medical reason is cause for immediate dismissal.
“I didn’t have time to get to it” is cause for immediate dismissal.

Conduct & safety

The host and the videographer are expected to get along and respect each other. Misconduct is not tolerated.
We are strictly professional with subjects, businesses, organizations, and the public.
Safety violations are cause for immediate dismissal.
Egregious cases may lead to a formal complaint to the RCMP.
No harassment or discrimination of any kind. No intoxication on shoot days. No unsafe driving or filming.

Equipment & company property

The videographer supplies their own camera and field gear.
Tri-Cities Board issues microphones of your choice, as long as they are reasonably priced — we are not buying luxury gear.
Company microphones remain Tri-Cities Board property unless you would rather use your own.
The editor is given access to a Google AI Ultra account (Omni) and a PowerDirector-class editing suite.
All company property is returned within 48 hours of the contract ending, or the replacement cost of new equipment is deducted from the final payout.
Lost equipment is paid for by the crew unless management decides otherwise.
Honest equipment failure and accidental damage are excusable. Things happen, and you will not be billed for that.
Company accounts and software licences are for Tri-Cities Board work only.

Community participation

Crew hold a paid Tri-Cities Board Perks supporter membership for the length of the contract. We use what we promote.
Take part in the Marketplace and the Forum: post, reply, share episodes, and help the place feel lived in.
Report bugs and rough edges you run into, and help us work them out.
This is a short-term ask by design. Once there are enough people that the project carries itself, participation is just normal use.

Content rights & sharing

Video that Tri-Cities Board pays for and crews is Tri-Cities Board property. Share links and embeds freely.
Do not re-upload our masters to your own channel or any third-party channel.
Written articles that Tri-Cities Board pays for are Tri-Cities Board property. Share our links; do not republish full pieces as your own.
Video submitted by a business stays theirs. They may share and post it wherever they like, as long as they do not edit it in a way that damages the reputation or credibility of Tri-Cities Board, its partners, employees, contractors, or affiliated organizations.
Want clips in a private portfolio or reel? Ask first. The answer is usually yes.
Consent, releases, and the privacy of the people we film are part of the job.

Criminal record check

Every applicant provides proof of a clear criminal record check before onboarding.
The work puts you around youth, seniors, and community organizations, so this is not optional.
Bring the check, or the receipt for it, to the interview day.

Pay & revenue sharing

Videographer / Editor: $35 per hour, 32–40 hours per week.
Show Host: $30 per hour, 16 hours per week to start, growing with the project. Editing skill unlocks more hours.
Invoices are submitted on the agreed cycle.
Committed, long-term crew are candidates for revenue sharing. That is earned over months, and it depends on the channel earning enough to pay out.
Equity is not part of either crew role. An ownership stake goes with promotion to a director-level role.

Not a camera person? We pay writers too.

We are still building out our roster of paid contributors for written stories — business features, org highlights, day trips, local news. Same standard, same positive lens, different tool.

Tell us who you are.

This is a short interview, not a resume dump. We care more about how you answer than where you have worked. Ten minutes, honestly answered, beats a polished cover letter.

What happens next

1We read every application as it comes in.
2Shortlisted applicants are invited to in-person interviews and headshots at the Port Coquitlam Rec Centre.
3Bring proof of a clear criminal record check, or the receipt for it.
4Onboarding follows shortly after, with content shoots starting early September.

The Tri-Cities has better stories than it has cameras.

Two roles, one crew, a channel that starts shooting in September. If that sounds like your kind of work, tell us.
