About the job

posted this job on 07/03/08

We are looking for an editor with extensive Final Cut Pro experience to assist our Post-Production Supervisor on a variety of projects, including branding films, documentaries, and web promos.

This is a freelance position, with jobs typically spanning anywhere from a couple of days to a week - though we do have one or two longer format documentary type projects in the works as well (3-4 week editing schedules). We have a small circle of great freelance editors whom we depend on regularly, and we are looking to expand that circle. You must have the ability to work both from home and our office in Manhattan as necessary.

The ideal candidate will be someone definitely technically skilled and knowledgeable, but looking for more professional experience and great projects to add to their reel. You will often work independently on projects with tight deadlines. This is a great learning experience with the potential for growth either within our company or in the field generally.

We are an independent production company based in New York City creating films that combine traditional studio story development with cost effective independent production. We seek to develop films from unique and original stories. In addition, we utilize independent filmmakers to produce marketing and branding films for Fortune 500 companies and their marketing and advertising agencies. We have produced hundreds of films for our clients including commercials, presentation tapes, concert/event coverage, internet ads and focus groups. Please respond by e-mail to with a cover letter, resume and link to online reel if you have one.

Please give us a sense of your typical day/week rates and the types of projects /industrial/marketing and/or narrative/documentary) that you have worked on. We will be scheduling in-person interviews with potential candidates over the next couple of weeks. Thank you!
