JOB OVERVIEW

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.

SKILLS

Strong storytelling
Music selection
Editing to music
Sound design
Color grading
Pacing
Hooks
Typography
Vertical editing
Short-form retention
Social trends

Premiere Pro / After Effects / DaVinci / CapCut or equivalent.
AI-assisted workflows are encouraged when they improve speed or quality.

EXPERIENCE WE LOVE

Nightlife
Restaurants
Hospitality
DJs
Music festivals
Travel
Fashion
Luxury
Hotels
Lifestyle brands

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.
