6/One more thing: this work can't be done with AI. It needs a human touch — judgment, pacing, instinct for what makes a case land.
If that's you, reply or DM with links to your previous work.
1/We're hiring a YouTube scriptwriter.
True crime. FOIA-driven. The kind of channel where the source material does the heavy lifting — if the writer knows how to use it.
5/You should also know how scripts, edits, and voice-over feed into each other.
The best writers in this genre think about the edit while they're writing. If that's you, we want to talk.
3/The job:
– Dig through extensive primary source material – Build narratives that hook viewers and hold them to the end – Write killer cold opens (these make or break the video) – Work closely with our editor and VO talent
2/We've built a deep archive of FOIA material from major cases.
Interrogation tapes. Body cam footage. Court records. The works.
We need someone who can turn that raw material into videos that actually go viral.
Job offer: We’re looking for someone with experience or interest in scouring court records and filing FOIA requests for police bodycam and interrogation footage. If this sounds like you, send us a DM!
Looking for another scriptwriter to the team. Can offer regular work. If you're interested we need you to provide a sample script. It doesn't need to be a full script.
Please check out our channel (Bad Things True Crime on YT). If you're coming up with your own ideas, it's a huge bonus.
Feel free to ask relevant questions, but the typical "HIRE ME" will not be answered.
Looking forward to hear from you guys!
THE AXE MURDERS IN LITTLE HELL
In the winter of 1969, a sinister shadow fell over Fredrikstad, Norway, as two men were brutally murdered with an axe on Christmas Eve. This wasn't just a crime; it was the beginning of a harrowing tale of miscarried justice. Per Kristian Liland, wrongfully convicted in a rush to close the case, spent years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
But hope flickered in the darkness, thanks to Vibeke and Sten Ekroth. Their unwavering dedication and thousands of hours of investigative work exposed the truth. Battling against a biased system and enduring smear campaigns, they fought for Liland's freedom.
Their triumph was not just Liland's exoneration but a stark revelation of the flaws in Norway's justice system. The case, known infamously as the axe murders of 'Little Hell', stands as a chilling reminder of the importance of justice and truth.
