A young woman uses a peculiar app to track down her missing sister, only to uncover a terrifying secret. We're seeking a skilled Editor for a visually driven, independent sci-fi thriller short film that aims for the festival circuit. This project will challenge you to build suspense and character through nuanced pacing and sound design, bringing a fresh perspective to a contemporary story with a dark twist. We’re an independent production, passionate about crafting compelling narratives. Key responsibilities include assembling raw footage, creating a compelling narrative flow, incorporating sound design elements, and preparing cuts for VFX and color grading.
