Researcher / Writer – MMA Documentary Scripts

18 hours ago


Remote, Canada Gavia Films Full time

We're looking for a researcher / writer with a strong sense of storytelling to help craft 15–20 minute documentary-style scripts focused on MMA fighters, rivalries, and defining moments in combat sports history.

This role is not about opinion pieces or surface-level summaries.

It's about digging deep, finding video interviews, footage, press conferences, podcasts, pulling exact dialogue and quotes, and weaving them into a coherent, emotionally engaging narrative.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Researching MMA subjects (fighters, events, rivalries, controversies, careers)
  • Finding relevant video clips online (interviews, archival footage, podcasts, etc.)
  • Pulling dialogue, quotes, and moments directly from those videos
  • Structuring those elements into a clear 15–20 minute documentary script
  • Writing transitions and narration that connect quotes into a compelling storyOrganizing sources clearly so the edit team can locate clips efficiently

This is story-first writing, built around real voices and real moments.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong research skills (you know how to find buried interviews and lesser-known sources)
  • Strong storytelling instincts
  • Ability to work with real dialogue and quotes, not just paraphrasing
  • Clear, engaging writing style suited for documentary narration
  • Familiarity with MMA / combat sports (this is essential)
  • Organized and detail-oriented (sources matter)

Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Opportunity for progression → Strong writers can become long-term collaborators and lead researchers
  • Meaningful, interesting work → You'll help shape in-depth MMA documentaries, not disposable content
  • Creative contribution → Your research and narrative structure directly shape the final film
  • Work on a channel with a large and growing audience
  • Fully remote → Work from anywhere in the world
  • Flexible schedule → Deadlines matter, but you control when you work

Expectations

  • Strong respect for deadlines (this is non-negotiable)
  • Clear communication if an issue arises
  • Ability to work independently once a topic is assigned

Compensation

  • $100 USD per script
  • $20 USD test assignment may be requested for shortlisted applicants
