We are looking for an exceptional Video Editor / Visual Storyteller for ongoing work across restaurants, nightlife, music events and lifestyle brands.
Remote. Global applicants are welcome. We don’t care where you live. We care about your taste.
We are NOT looking for someone who simply adds transitions, subtitles and trending music. We want an editor who can look through raw footage and find the story.
YOU WILL CREATE
* Instagram Reels
* TikToks
* YouTube Shorts
* Cinematic hospitality films
* Nightlife/event recaps
* Food and chef stories
* DJ/music content
* Behind-the-scenes stories
* Founder/personal-brand content
* Promotional videos
* Paid social advertisements
* Occasional longer YouTube videos
YOUR EDITING SHOULD CREATE EMOTION
We want viewers thinking: “I wish I was there.”
Sometimes that means cinematic storytelling. Sometimes it’s an 8-second Reel. Sometimes it’s an emotional guest reaction. Sometimes it’s food. Sometimes it’s a DJ dropping the right record at exactly the right moment. You need to understand the difference.

IMPORTANT
One night of raw footage should NOT become one Reel. We want someone who can turn a shoot into multiple stories and formats.
HOW TO APPLY
Do NOT send us 50 videos.
Send:
1. Your 5 BEST edits.
2. Your best vertical Reel/TikTok.
3. Your best cinematic/storytelling piece.
4. Hospitality/nightlife/music work if available.
5. Your monthly rate.
6. Location/time zone.
7. How many short-form videos you can realistically deliver weekly.
Start your application with:
“STORY FIRST.” (Applications without this line may not be reviewed.)
PAID TEST
Final candidates will receive identical raw footage and complete a small paid editing test. You will receive limited creative direction intentionally. We want to see what YOU see in the footage. We are looking for a long-term creative partner, not simply someone to complete individual edits.
