Job Title:

Video Editor for 2–3 Minute Psychological Thriller Promo

Description: I’m seeking a creative and intuitive video editor for a 2–3 minute promo for my upcoming psychological thriller titled Vicarious. This piece will function as a cinematic teaser, which will be used on the film's social media and crowdfunding platforms.

This is a great opportunity for:

Film students or emerging editors building a portfolio

Editors interested in thriller/suspense storytelling

Creators wanting a polished, credit-worthy genre piece for their reel

Freelancers open to smaller-budget creative collaborations

Project Scope (Psychological Thriller Focus):

Craft a 2–3 minute tension-driven teaser

Emphasize mood, pacing, unease, and psychological buildup

Strategic use of silence and sound design

Suspenseful rhythm

Basic color tone consistency (moody/cinematic palette)

1–2 revision rounds

• The goal is to leave viewers unsettled and intrigued with more questions than answers.

Tone & Style References: Slow-burn psychological tension. Clean but unsettling.

Budget: This is an early-stage creative project with a modest budget, so I’m especially interested in collaborating with someone open to a lower rate in exchange for creative credit, portfolio usage, and potential future work as the project develops. Please include your rate expectations — I’m open to discussion.

Timeline: Target completion within 2–3 weeks of start date.

To Apply, Please Include:

Portfolio or examples (thriller/suspense work is a plus)

Your project rate or typical pricing

If you want to collaborate creatively, don't hesitate to apply. I’d love to connect.

Your vision for Vicarious immediately stood out to me — especially the emphasis on silence, psychological buildup, and that slow-burn unease. That’s exactly the kind of tension-driven storytelling I specialize in.

I recently edited a psychological thriller teaser with a similar unsettling rhythm and mood-focused pacing. The way you described “leaving viewers with more questions than answers” is precisely how I approach suspense structure.

I’d love to share a brief example and discuss how we can craft something that not only aligns with your expectations — but elevates the emotional tension even further.
