  • Photography or post-production skills desirable. (Cannon/PremierePro preferred).

Event calls are generally a minimum of 4 -5 hours, work is sporadic (2-5 events per month) and entails working at different times of the day. CIS holds a range of events from breakfasts to lunches and evening events.
