Editing for Pilot

We need an Editor to join our team for an exciting sci-fi pilot, a proof-of-concept for an independent series. This project explores themes of artificial intelligence and societal upheaval with a gritty, realistic tone. It's a character-driven piece that requires a nuanced editing approach to build suspense and emotional depth. Your primary responsibility will be assembling raw footage into a compelling narrative, collaborating closely with the director on pacing, transitions, and overall storytelling. You'll be responsible for organizing project files, selecting takes, cutting sequences, and incorporating temporary sound and music to create a strong rough cut. While this is an entry-level position, we're looking for someone with a passion for storytelling through editing. You should have a foundational understanding of editing software (e.g., DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro) and ideally your own workstation. Please provide a link to your editing reel or examples of previous work, even if they are student films or personal projects. This is a crucial role for our small production. We anticipate about 3 weeks of work, starting the last week of September 2026, primarily remote but with some in-person collaboration sessions in Brooklyn, NY. Compensation is deferred, with a backend percentage offered. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience on a unique project. We’d like to finalize our selection by October 10, 2026.
