Requirements * Documentary editing experience required. * Strong cinematic portfolio. * Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. * Excellent storytelling, communication, and attention to detail. Project Details * Fixed Price: $1,000 * Footage is organized to some degree. * Creative direction and branding assets will be provided. * Firm delivery deadline: August 9. * Opportunity for future episodes and ongoing collaboration. To Apply Please include: * Links to your best documentary or cinematic work. * The editing software you use. * Confirmation that you can meet the August 9 deadline. * A brief explanation of your storytelling approach.
