I'm a highly-experienced scriptwriter, editor and TV, film and video producer with a track record of writing and producing projects that attract an audience and get results. I specialize in explainers, corporate films, non-profit videos, TV series, and other message-driven content. I was the creator and EP of the documentary series "NHL Trophy Case" for NHL Network, and was the producer, director, and writer for the series "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel, which became one of the most successful TV series of the 2000s. I won three Emmy Awards for my work on that series. I've also produced reality series for MTV, MSNBC and others. I've produced and written videos and short films for corporations, non-profits, and other organizations such as Apple, Informatica, Palo Alto Networks, SoftServe Infragistics, Humane Society of the United States, CP Capital, University of Redlands, and dozens of other start-ups, brands and other organizations. I specialize in clever - sometimes comedic - wording and concepts, I know how to create and build a message-driven video, and have deep production knowledge as well as a large list of connections in the industry. I work closely with clients to create and develop concepts, write video scripts, design storyboards and then produce, direct and ultimately deliver highly effective videos and films. I'm incredibly talented, driven, and have a unique background that can make your project rise above the others. My clients include Apple, Palo Alto Networks, Informatica, SoftServe, Jivox, Appen, Feathery, Adobe, and others.

James S.

Expert Video Producer & Editor, Brand, Social, B2B, Marketing Videos

Los Angeles, California
$95 per hour
114 jobs
$80K+ total earnings

I’m a video producer, editor, and copywriter who helps brands, startups, and B2B companies create high-performing social and marketing videos for LinkedIn, Instagram, websites, and sales teams — including short-form clips, testimonials, explainers, and brand films. I bring 15+ years of experience writing, producing, and editing content for HBO, Discovery, and Apple TV, along with major brands like Mattel, Verizon, and McDonald’s, delivering broadcast-level storytelling for commercial video. My background in television, streaming, and feature film production allows me to apply cinematic pacing, structure, and narrative clarity to brand videos, ads, explainers, testimonials, and social campaigns designed to capture attention and drive results. I run a full-service video production and content marketing studio working with brands, SaaS companies, startups, and nonprofits to produce video ads, social content, testimonials, pitch videos, and written copy that supports sales, marketing, and growth teams. Clients hire me when they want polished, professional content that combines editorial storytelling with marketing strategy — not generic freelancer output. I also offer script development, screenplay coverage, and story consulting for brands, studios, and creators who need clear structure, character, and narrative flow for narrative, branded, or long-form video projects.

Ben R.

Filmmaker and video editor

Los Angeles, California

54 jobs
$30K+ total earnings

25+ years directing, editing, and building branded content for people who don't have room for a learning curve including Warner Brothers, NBC/Universal, HBO, Showtime, SyFy, Audi, THQ, Penn & Teller, and John Lithgow, among others. I've watched this industry rebuild itself around new tools and platforms more than once, and I use whatever gets the best result, not whatever's familiar. Bring me the footage, the brief, or just the idea. I'll bring the craft and the instincts to make it work.
