Website FILMMAKER RANCH
We’re building a new kind of film campus in Oklahoma – home to 10–15 indie movies per year. Inside that world, we’re producing a film-industry talk show that’s part deep craft conversation, part uncomfortably honest career story—Inside-the-Actors-Studio meets Diary of A CEO energy with modern, momentum-driven pacing.
Your job is to shape it.
You’ll cut 22-minute episodes from multi-camera ISO outputs, then turn the best moments into social promos that feel like you stumbled into something real—something you should probably keep watching.
This isn’t just editing. It’s building trust with filmmakers, crew, and an audience that can smell fluff from a mile away.
What you’ll be editing:
- Full episodes: ~22 minutes, cut from multi-cam ISOs (plus whatever audio mix/stems are available)
- Social-first promos: reels/shorts/clips (hooks, standout answers, vulnerable moments, funny beats, “how the industry actually works” soundbites)
- Cutdowns & versions: platform-specific exports (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), plus alternate intros/outros when needed
What success looks like:
- The show feels cinematic, intimate, and sharp—not like coverage.
- Pacing is confident: you know when to let a moment breathe, and when to cut before it dies.
- The conversation has shape: setup → tension → insight → payoff.
- Social clips don’t feel like ads. They feel like a window—and people share them because they sound true.
- Audio is clean, intelligible, and consistent (especially in a talk format where dialogue is everything).
- You can take notes fast without losing the spine of the cut.
Your responsibilities:
Multi-camera episode editing
- Sync, organize, and build timelines from multi-camera ISO recordings
- Make editorial choices that enhance honesty, clarity, and emotional momentum
- Build structure: cold open, act flow, transitions, reveals, button endings
- Maintain continuity and performance across angles—knowing when a cut is invisible and when it’s a statement
- Deliver review cuts, implement notes, finalize exports
Social promo editing
- Pull the most compelling moments and craft them into high-retention short form:
- cold opens that stop the scroll
- “hard truth” lines that hit
- emotional pivots that feel human
- craft tips that make film people lean in
- Create repeatable formats (templates/systems) that keep output consistent and scalable
Workflow & organization
- Keep projects clean, searchable, and versioned (you’re building a library, not a junk drawer)
- Manage media, proxies (if needed), relinks, backups, and deliverables
- Communicate clearly with producers/director about needs, missing pieces, and solutions
The kind of editor who wins here:
- You are really detail oriented making sure captions, headings, fonts, colors are all perfect and on brand.
- understand social media and talk shows live or die in the pauses.
- You can pull a story out of a long conversation without manufacturing one.
- You have taste: when to stay wide, when to go close, when to cut away, when to hold.
- You’re social-native without being gimmicky. You know what performs—and you still protect the integrity of the moment.
- You’re calm under deadlines and allergic to chaos.
Requirements:
- Proven experience editing multi-camera talk/interview/panel content
- Strong sense of pacing, performance, and story structure
- Comfortable creating short-form social promos from long-form conversations
- Solid audio instincts (dialogue clarity, consistency, basic cleanup mindset)
- Able to work on-site at Filmmakers Ranch (Oklahoma) (or hybrid if workflow supports it)
Tools:
We are a Resolve facility. Don’t worry if you haven’t used Resolve as long as you’ve had great experience on Avid/Premiere/Final Cut, you’ll be able to get up to speed quickly!
What you’ll get:
- A creative seat inside a campus producing 10–15 indie films per year
- Real access to film professionals and conversations worth preserving
- A role where your cuts directly shape the voice of the show—and its growth
