  • Title: The Doors Of The Chelsea
  • Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).

I am searching for a veteran and consummate film editor to cut a character-driven documentary feature about the Chelsea Hotel. It has been filmed over a period of 5 years in New York City. It will include some archival footage and animation, but it’s mostly a direct cinema type of documentary in which around 70-80% of the film is verite footage captured over the years with one camera.

This documentary has been conceived upon the notion that nonfiction filmmaking is an art form, and it relies on the power of editing to give shape, structure, and meaning to the material recorded.

The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate the following bullet points:

- He/she has a substantial knowledge of techniques for creating and developing a character out of a real person in documentaries.

- He/she has a profound understanding and has extensively worked under the idea that stories from documentaries are often made in the edit room.

- He/she is able to implement editorial choices that propel the plot and sustain a compelling narrative structure.

- He/she is an ambitious storyteller willing to take the lead and adding to the creative process by bringing ideas and a unique viewpoint.

- He/she is comfortable with the idea of forming a creative tandem with the director.

- He/she is capable of seamlessly integrating archival footage and animation sequences into the main storyline.

- He/she has worked as the lead editor in documentary films that have been accepted into major film festivals with industry presence such as Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, Berlin, Rotterdam, Venice, Tribeca, SXSW, etc.

I can provide further details in private. Please send me a message if you honestly think that you are qualified.

Please include in your response:
- Brief cover letter explaining your experience in documentary films.
- Resume or a list with your editor credits.
- Availability and Rates.

Don't stop now... keep hunting!
