Cinematic Video Editor- Motion Graphics, Animation/Art, Documentary

Cinematic Video Editor — Documentary & Editorial Content True Connection is a nonprofit media organization exploring the relationships that shape human life — the self, other people, nature, ancient civilizations, the cosmos, climate, and the systems we all live inside. We create long-form documentary film, video essays, and short and long-form content across six content pillars. Our visual world is cinematic, editorial, and unhurried. Think slow cuts, atmospheric footage, voice-over narration, original score. References in our world: Nils Frahm, OPEN, A24, Kinfolk. What We're Building - A feature documentary film - A library of video essays across nature, cosmos, ancient civilizations, cultures, climate, and mindful living - Short-form social content built from long-form material - A motion identity and branded title system What We're Looking For An editor whose natural instinct is cinematic and atmospheric — someone who understands pacing as meaning, who edits to score with intention, and who has worked with voice-over narration in long-form contexts. You should be comfortable with: - Long-form documentary and essay-style editing - Cutting to music and voice-over simultaneously - Sourcing and working with cinematic stock footage (Artgrid or similar) - After Effects for titles, logo, and simple motion work - Maintaining a consistent visual and sonic identity across pieces You're the Right Person If - Your portfolio includes atmospheric, slow, or documentary work — not fast-cut or commercial - You edit to music with intention, not just as background - You are drawn to ideas — philosophy, nature, science, human behavior, culture — and that shows in your reel - You can name a documentary or film whose visual language you deeply admire and tell us why --- How to Apply Send a portfolio link and answer this one question: *Name a documentary or film whose visual language feels close to what we've described — and tell us briefly why.* Applications without an answer to that question will not be reviewed.
