EWU Media produces emotionally gripping, high-intensity true-crime scripts based on real police bodycam footage, 911 calls, interrogations, and investigative materials. Our content reaches millions across multiple platforms, and we are expanding our elite writing team.

We’re seeking native-level U.S. storytellers who can turn raw law-enforcement footage into compelling, cinematic documentary narration.

• Your script must include:
• Clear timestamps that correspond to moments in the body cam footage
• Voiceover / narration showing how you would tell the story over the video
• The script does not need to be complete. This is only to demonstrate how you structure narration and integrate footage with storytelling.
• Email your script sample (PDF or Google Doc preferred) to:
• aimee@ewumedia.com
• Include your name and LinkedIn application in the email.

• We will review all submitted samples.
• If your sample is a good fit, we will reach out with next steps in the hiring process.

• Write documentary-style scripts from real footage and source materials
• Build suspenseful, scene-by-scene narratives
• Explain timelines, decisions, and legal outcomes clearly
• Deliver 100% human-written, emotionally precise storytelling
