Narrative Short Film Editor

I’ve wrapped shooting a personal, creative short film and now need a skilled editor to turn the raw footage into a tight, engaging narrative. The story has already been scripted and shot; what I’m looking for is someone who can shape the material so its emotional beats land and the pacing feels natural.

Here’s what I need you to handle:
• Assemble and trim the footage to create a coherent three-act flow
• Perform colour correction and basic grading for a cinematic look
• Balance dialogue, ambient sound, and score; light sound design is a plus
• Add titles, lower thirds, or simple effects only where they strengthen the story
• Export a master (4K ProRes or similar) plus a web-ready 1080p H.264 version
• Supply the project file (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro) along with any linked media or graphics

I’ll provide organised folders, a shot list, and reference cuts so you can dive in quickly. The project is complete when I receive the final videos, project file, and all assets render-ready.

If narrative storytelling is your strength and you’re comfortable working with short-film pacing, I’d love to see your reel and discuss timelines.
