Job description

The Loppet Foundation seeks a Video Artist to create a short length documentary focused on the Luminary Loppet and the all volunteer team that makes the annual event happen. Envisioned and created by a dedicated group of volunteers, the Luminarians, The Luminary Loppet is a non-competitive candlelit ski, snowshoe, walk on Lake of the Isles surrounded by an illuminated ice landscape. Accompanied by fire pits and hot chocolate stops, the Luminary Loppet is an iconic Minneapolis winter event centered on the celebration of light and ice. For the last 15 years, the Luminarians have conceived of and executed an array of challenging ice features that create the annual visual ice spectacle.
While the Luminary Loppet is a visual winter spectacle, the months of work to build all of the ice features is a largely invisible but key component to the success of the event. Documentation of the creation process, freezing and hatching, of the ice features to the extent that they would create an interesting story is of importance to this story.
