During revision waiting periods, you’ll cut snippets from interview footage for use in other formats and contexts. Premiere and DaVinci Resolve are both welcome; if you’re experienced with and enjoy color grading, you’re welcome to work in Resolve and contribute to that part of the process as well.

Strong editorial instincts, with a feel for narrative structure and pacing

Demonstrated ability to build musical arcs and craft b‑roll sequences

Proficiency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
