- Pay Rate: $325.00 - $500.00 / Daily
- Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).
-
Additional Requirements:
- Do you have your own station to edit from?
- Are you a Final Cut Editor?
- Do you enjoy/primarily work on documentaries?
- Is conservation and the environment important to you?
We would currently just be one video series amongst your other clients.....but position would scale with the right prospect...our target for 2024 is 4 retainer clients per month.
We are a small, queer-owned documentary production company seeking a freelance Editor for ongoing projects focused on conservation and uplifting diverse voices.
Filming for these remote, single-camera verité style documentaries begins in March 2023. Locations will vary across the country.
Instead of a resume or cover letter, tell us in a short paragraph why you care about conservation, regenerative agriculture, or related environmental/social impact topics. Having passion about this space is key. I know you're applying for an editing job so that's assumed.
While the editing can be done remotely, we prefer candidates based in or very near New York City (including NJ/Newark) so we can meet in person occasionally.
Please send a link to your editing reel/samples along with your paragraph. Please don't write more than that. If you do I'll know you did not read the entire posting ;) . If it seems like a potential fit, we can set up a meeting to talk further.
This is for an initial video, but we are in the process of onboarding new clients for next year and currently don't have a go-to editor.....so the work load has a lot of potential. We selected 1 month as we had to select something but this could be ongoing with the right prospect.
Looking for someone who feels like this sounds like fun and would be a good opportunity for them to grow. Looking at about $1200-2000 a month worth of work to start depending on the project. Obviously based on the rate we are not looking for someone with insane experience. Also prefer folks who have self shot and edited their own docs.
Prefer final cut editors but could be open to the right premiere candidate.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
